Speculation spread on Monday that Asisat Oshoala, star forward of the Super Falcons, had decided to retire from international football just before their crucial semi-final clash against South Africa at the ongoing Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.

A former Super Eagles media officer, Colin Udoh, clarified the situation in a video on his X page.
“Asisat is too smart to make that announcement the day before such a decisive game,” Udoh said.
“It wasn’t on her official pages, so ignore the rumour.”
Fans can rest assured that Oshoala remains focused on leading the Super Falcons as they aim for a place in the WAFCON final.
