In an interview with Ghanasoccernet, Oshoala emphasised that she approaches every competition—whether continental or global—with equal focus, energy, and passion.
“Every tournament is special to me because I give my all in every competition. Whether it is WAFCON or the World Cup, I approach each game with the same passion and energy because I genuinely love football,” Oshoala said.
Despite her consistent dedication, Oshoala singled out the 2023 World Cup as particularly significant.
“The 2023 World Cup in Australia stands out the most for me. Our match against Australia was particularly special, as well as the game against England,” she added.
The Super Falcons, ranked 40th in the world by FIFA going into the tournament, impressed with their performances, holding Olympic champions Canada, upsetting co-hosts Australia, and taking eventual finalists England to extra time and penalties before exiting in the round of 16.
Oshoala said those matches reflected Nigeria’s progress on the global stage.
“Those performances showed how much the Nigerian team is evolving and improving with every competition. At WAFCON in Morocco, we faced intense moments, especially when we were two goals down. Fighting back together and supporting one another made the victory even sweeter,” she said.
The striker, however, was not named in the latest Super Falcons squad announced by head coach Justine Madugu for the pre-WAFCON friendly matches against Cameroon in Yaounde. The first friendly is scheduled for Saturday at the Military Stadium, with the return fixture on Tuesday, March 3.
