Asisat Oshoala: Six CAF Player of the Year Awards

A sixth award

Asisat Oshoala won CAF’s women’s African Player of the Year award for the sixth time in 2023. The official announcement is linked below.

Follow the competition on its own terms

Compare performances within the same competition and stage. Club matches, international qualifiers and tournament finals involve different opponents and schedules. Include playing time and position alongside goals.

Ask what the footage actually shows

Before a finish, watch the run, the defender’s position and the final pass. A full match also shows pressing, movement off the ball and involvement between chances; a short scoring clip does not.

Following women’s football

Use the relevant club, national team and competition fixture lists. Check dates and confirmed squads when following Oshoala’s next appearance.
