Super Falcons striker, Asisat Oshoala has dismissed rumours claiming she has retired from international football.
Speaking to reporters in Morocco after Nigeria’s dramatic 3-2 win over the host nation in the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) final, the six-time African Player of the Year described the speculation as false.
“I don’t know where that came from but agenda must agend. I get it, but I’m not bothered. I’m still here. I’m still playing. I’m still doing my job. That’s what I’m focused on,” Oshoala said.
The 30-year-old was included in Nigeria’s final 23-player squad and played a supporting role throughout the tournament.

Oshoala’s international career began in 2013 and soared in 2014 when she dominated the U-20 Women’s World Cup and helped Nigeria win the African Women’s Championship.
She holds the distinction of scoring in three consecutive FIFA Women’s World Cups: a first for any African.
She now boasts four WAFCON titles — 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2024 — and continues to be a defining figure in Nigerian football.
