A six-time African Women’s Player of the Year and two-time UEFA Champions League winner with Barcelona, Oshoala brings world-class pedigree and winning pedigree to Riyadh. Her move is not just a transfer, it’s a statement about the growing global prominence of women’s football and Saudi Arabia’s rising ambitions in the sport.
