Oshoala has also taken time to salute the fans for their unflinching support since their arrival in Cape Coast before moving to Accra. “To the fans here and back home I want to say thanks for supporting us, we told them we won’t let them down and that we will pick the world cup ticket and we have done that so I want to say thank you and keep praying and supporting us.”
