Category: Sports News
Super Falcons and Barcelona striker, Asisat Oshoala, missed out on the
prestigious Ballon d’Or award after UEFA announced Beth Mead, Lena Oberdorf
and Alexia Putellas as the final three contenders in the running for the 2022
UEFA Women’s Player of The Year accolade.
Last week Oshoala was
named in a 20-woman list of nominees for the 2022 Women’s Ballon d’Or, making
her the first-ever African woman to achieve the feat.
The
Barcelona Femini woman’s nomination comes after she was named the CAF Women’s
Player of The Year for a record fifth time last month, surpassing fellow
countrywoman Perpetua Nkwocha’s four awards.
