Her nomination for the award comes just three weeks after she was named the 2022 African Women’s Player of the Year at the CAF Awards ceremony in Rabat, Morocco.

During the ceremony, Oshoala won the award ahead of Ajara Nchout Njoya (Cameroon and Inter Milan) and Zambia international Grace Chanda (Zambia and BIIK Kazygurt) to become the first African to win the prestigious award a record five times.

Oshoala was part of the Super Falcons squad that took part in the 2022 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations but she only played in one game – the 2-1 opening defeat against South Africa – and sustained an injury that ruled her out of the tournament.

Nigeria went on to lose to Zambia in the third-place playoff.

The ceremony for the 66th Ballon D’or will be held on October 17, 2022 at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris, France.
