Reigning Confederation of African Football (CAF) Female Footballer of The Year and Barcelona forward, Asisat Oshoala, has been nominated for the 2022 Ballon d’Or Feminin award.
The 2022 Ballon d’Or features a new twist as it is the first time the award will be based on a full season rather than a calendar year as has usually been the case.
Recall that Asisat Oshoala made history by picking up her 5th CAF Player of The Year award on July 22, 2022.
Oshoala will lock horns with reigning Ballon d’Or winner and Barcelona Feminin teammate, Alexia Putella, England and Chelsea’s Sam Kerr and a host of other female superstars across Europe and The US.
