Asisat Oshoala has won three of the last five editions of the award, and in 2018 she helped the and also helped Nigeria’s Super Falcons win a 9th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations title.
If she wins in Dakar, the former FC Robo Queens star will become the first Woman to ever win a hat-trick of the CAF Africa Women’s Player of the Year.
However, she’ll face tough competition from teammate Francisca Ordega and South Africa’s Chrestinah Thembi Kgatlana, who was voted best player of the 2018 AWCON.
