Super Falcons striker Asisat Oshoala has bid farewell to FC Barcelona Femini, where she plied her trade for five years to join a new National Women’s Soccer League team, Bay FC.
The 2023 CAF African Women’s Footballer of the Year has signed a two-year deal with Bay FC with an option to extend the contract by one year until 2027.
In an emotional-laden tribute on Instagram, the 29-year-old expressed gratitude for the opportunity to be a part of the club’s most memorable moments in history.
She wrote: To my beloved @fcbfemeni ,
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 honor and privilege to wear the @fcbfemeni 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, dedication and 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 the 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 @fcbfemeni 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 @fcbfemeni , 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,
