Super Flacon’s Oshoala pays courtesy visit to Remo Stars club

Super Falcons striker and Barcelona player, Asisat Oshoala, embarked on a meaningful courtesy visit to the Nigerian Premier League club, Remo Stars. The visit, which took place on Thursday, not only underlined Oshoala’s commitment to fostering unity but also showcased her genuine dedication to the advancement of sports in her homeland.

During her visit, Oshoala was warmly greeted by the club president, Honourable Kunle Soname, who personally guided her on an illuminating tour of the club’s top-notch facilities. In a gesture that symbolized the mutual respect between Oshoala and Remo Stars, the five-time African Footballer of the Year presented Soname with a personally signed jersey, a tangible token of their shared passion for the beautiful game.

Oshoala not only engaged with Remo Stars’ senior ranks but also took the time to inspire and uplift the young talents of Remo Stars’ youth club, aptly named Beyond Limits. Her words of encouragement resonated deeply with the budding athletes, offering them a unique glimpse into the world of professional football.

Both Remo Stars and Beyond Limits couldn’t contain their excitement, taking to their respective Twitter platforms to share the significant event. Remo Stars proudly conveyed, “Our club president, Hon Kunle Soname OFR, on Thursday hosted Super Falcons forward @AsisatOshoala on a courtesy visit.” Similarly, Beyond Limits shared their exhilaration, stating, “We had Super Falcons forward @AsisatOshoala speak to our boys during her visit to the academy on Thursday.”

Oshoala’s inspiring visit to Remo Stars came on the heels of her dedicated efforts in the ongoing 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, where she represented the Super Falcons. Despite a valiant performance that saw her contribute a goal in four appearances, the Super Falcons faced a formidable challenge, ultimately bowing out with a 4-2 loss to the determined finalists, England, at the Round of 16 stage.
