Super Falcons striker Asisat Oshoala has confirmed her move to Bay FC, a National Women’s Soccer League team, in an emotional goodbye message to teammates, staff, and supporters of Spanish side Barcelona Femeni.
In a post on Instagram on Thursday, Oshoala stated that it was a privilege to play for the Champions League winner.
She wrote: ”As I bid farewell to this incredible team and the city that has been my home for the past 5 years, I am filled with mixed emotions. It has been an absolute honour and privilege to wear the FCB Femeni jersey and represent this prestigious club.
“Since joining the team in 2019, I have had the opportunity to be a part of some of the most memorable moments in the club’s history. Together, we have lifted several trophies, and these achievements are a testament to hard work and dedication. I feel privileged to have been a part of this team.
“But beyond the trophies and accolades, what I will cherish most are the relationships I have built with some of my teammates, coaches, staff, and amazing fans. You have become my family, and I will forever be grateful for the love and support you have shown me.
“As I embark on a new journey, I want you to know that FCB Femeni will always hold a special place in my heart. I will carry with me the memories, lessons, and friendships that I have gained during my time here.
“Thank you for everything, FCB Femeni. You have given me more than I could have ever imagined, and I will always be a proud representative of this incredible club.
“With love and gratitude, Asisat Lamina Oshoala.”
The 29-year-old has signed a 2-year-old contract with Bay FC with an option for another year after spending five years at the Spanish side, winning 12 trophies during her time at the club.
