Bay FC, a team in the USA’s National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL), celebrated Asisat Oshoala’s selection to the Paris 2024 Olympics with a special send-off.
The Nigerian forward, known for her impactful career including her time at Barcelona, was honored with a bouquet of flowers.
This gesture was part of a broader celebration involving other teammates who will also be competing in the Olympics.
Among those celebrated alongside Oshoala were Bay FC teammates Racheal Kundananji of Zambia and Lysianne Proulx of Canada.
These athletes, representing different nations, are gearing up for their respective journeys to the Olympic Games.
The send-off came shortly after Bay FC’s 3-0 home loss to Washington Spirits, marking a poignant moment of both reflection and anticipation for the players heading to Paris.
Nigeria’s participation in the women’s football event at the Olympics marks their return since their last appearance in 2008, adding significance to Oshoala’s journey and the team’s ambitions on the global stage.
