Mini bio
How it started.
Oshoala grew up playing football with boys in Ikorodu, near Lagos. She made her Nigerian league debut with FC Robo at 15, despite her parents’ initial opposition to football. Rivers Angels followed, before Liverpool signed her in January 2015.
The breakthrough.
At the 2014 U-20 Women’s World Cup in Canada, she scored seven goals in six games as Nigeria finished runners-up. She took home both the Golden Ball and Golden Boot. In 2015, she won the BBC Women’s Footballer of the Year award.
Making club history.
Her career took her through England and China before Barcelona in January 2019. By her February 2024 move to Bay FC, she had scored 117 goals in 162 Barcelona appearances and won 14 trophies, including two Champions League titles. In California, she scored Bay FC’s first goal and its first playoff goal, then moved to Al-Hilal in September 2025.
Opening doors.
Her academy works with Nike and Women Win to give girls in Lagos and surrounding cities access to football, education and life skills. She also works with the GSMA’s Breaking Barriers campaign to help more people use mobile internet. In interviews, she connects that work to her own experience of finding an agent through Facebook.
