Super Falcon forward Asisat Oshoala was named the 2022 CAF Player of the Year.
The 27-year-old was announced as the award winner at the gala in Rabat, Morocco on Thursday.
With this victory, Oshoala became the first player in history to win the African Player of the Year title five times.
Oshoala was named the best African player in 2014, 2016, 2017 and 2019.
The win is her fifth award, beating former Falcons forward Perpetua Nkwocha.
The 2021/22 season can be described as Oshoala’s best, as she played a crucial role in the Spanish team’s exciting victory – the Women’s Supercopa de España, the Copa de la Reina and the First Division.
In the men’s category, however, Sadio Mane won the CAF 2022 Player of the Year award.
