Rivers Angels New Poster Girl Asisat Oshoala Prepared For AWC

Rivers Angels new poster girl Asisat Oshoala is one of the 30 players that have been summoned to the national team camp ahead of the African Women Championship which begins in Namibia later next month.

Few weeks ago, the offensive all-rounder was in the spotlight after her seven goals contributed to the Falconets qualification for the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup finals.

And the Golden Ball and Golden Shoe winner of the competition held in Canada has borrowed the motto from the Girls Guide, saying she is prepared for the start of camping despite recently appearing for the Nigeria Under 20s.

“I went to the African Women Championship two years ago, and I played a game against Ivory Coast. I have been part of the senior national team in the past, I played the qualifiers against Rwanda.

“Yes, I am prepared to join the camp. It is my work and I am prepared for the competition,”Asisat Oshoala told allnigeriasoccer.com.

The 19 - year - old is studying offers from clubs overseas, and she has dropped a big hint that she will switch clubs after the AWC ends.

“There are teams abroad that want me but I want to remain with Rivers Angels until the end of the season. After the AWC, I will sit down with my agent and consider the options available, ” she concluded.

From the 30 players that were told to report at Serob Hotel Abuja on Sunday, 14 are from Rivers Angels including Gloria Ofoegbu and Uchechi Sunday.
