Asisat Oshoala has made an immediate impact in Saudi Arabia, showcasing her talent through goals and accolades, according to Soccernet.ng.
The Nigerian international and Super Falcons star has been honored as the Saudi Women’s Premier League Player of the Month for September, following an impressive debut season with Al Hilal Women.
At 30 years old, Oshoala wasted no time making her mark, netting a goal in her very first match against Al Qadsiah. She then continued her fine form by scoring and assisting in consecutive games versus Al Ahli and Neom SC.
Her remarkable contribution of three goals and two assists across just three appearances highlights why she remains one of the most formidable forwards in women’s football today.

Only Al Nassr has surpassed their goal tally with 13 strikes. Additionally, Al Hilal secured a clean sweep of monthly awards with Layla Ali named Goalkeeper of the Month and Jose Herrera honored as Coach of the Month.
Oshoala’s entry into Saudi football was always destined to attract attention. With a decorated career spanning top clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool, Dalian, and Barcelona, the Nigerian striker has consistently shattered records and set new standards.
She made history as the first African woman to score in a UEFA Women’s Champions League final, the first to lift the trophy, and the first African recipient of Spain’s prestigious Pichichi Trophy.

In 2022, she became the first African woman to be nominated for the Ballon d’Or Féminin, a testament to her exceptional talent and influence on the global stage.
Honored with Nigeria’s Member of the Order of the Niger award, Oshoala also played a crucial role in helping the Super Falcons secure their 10th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations title earlier this year.
Her presence is expected to be a game-changer for Al Hilal as the season unfolds in what promises to be a highly competitive campaign.
Al Hilal’s next challenge is a clash against Al Ittihad at the Prince Faisal bin Fahad Stadium, where Oshoala will aim to continue her impressive streak in the club’s colors.
