Saudi Women’s Premier League outfit, Al Hilal, have announced the signing of Super Falcons star, Asisat Oshoala, on a two-year deal.
Oshoala joined Al Hila from the National Women’s Soccer League side, Bay FC, ending her stint with the USA club after one-and-a-half years.
She was unveiled in a series of posts via the club’s social media handles on Tuesday after undergoing medicals on Monday in Riyadh.
‘Welcome Asisat Oshoala. Countless achievements, and more to come’, the club said.
She joins Super Falcons teammates Ashleigh Plumptre and Francisca Ordega in Saudi Arabia.
Al Hilal finished sixth in the 2024/25 season, with the competition expanded from eight to 10 teams.
Meanwhile, Bay FC have also announced her departure.
‘Bay FC and Saudi Arabia club Al Hilal have agreed to terms on a transfer for Asisat Oshoala. Thank you for everything you’ve given to this club’.
Oshoala left Bay FC after joining the NWSL expansion team last season, making 23 starts in 25 games. She tallied seven goals during the regular season and contributed one assist.
This season, she has, however, seen her game time wane, coming in more often than not off the bench, making five starts over 12 matches with no goals or assists before her departure.
Before now, the two-time Ballon d’Or nominee spent five seasons at Barcelona, where she scored 107 goals in 149 appearances, winning five Liga F titles and two Women’s Champions League trophies. She also played for Arsenal, Liverpool and Chinese club Dalian Quanjian after beginning her career with Nigerian sides FC Robo and Rivers Angels.
The six-time Africa Women’s Player of the Year was also part of Nigeria’s historic 10th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations triumph in Morocco, starting just two games.
