Asisat Oshoala completes Al Hilal move on two-year deal

Super Falcons and Bay FC striker,  Asisat Oshoala, has signed a two-year contract with Al Hilal in the Saudi Women’s Premier League.

According to The Athletic, the six-time African Women’s Footballer of the Year arrived in Saudi Arabia on Monday to undergo her medical ahead of the deal, which was finalized before the close of the transfer window.

“Bay FC and Al Hilal reached an agreement on an undisclosed transfer fee, and Oshoala is now in Saudi Arabia ahead of a medical scheduled for tonight (Monday),” the report stated.

The 29-year-old forward only joined Bay FC earlier this year after a trophy-laden spell with FC Barcelona Femeni, where she won multiple league titles, Champions League honors, and Golden Boot awards.

Oshoala earned 23 starts in 25 games for Bay FC’s last season, scoring seven goals. This year, she’s seen less of the pitch, making five starts across 12 matches without a goal.

Her switch marks another major acquisition for Al Hilal, who finished sixth in the 2024-25 campaign as the competition expanded from eight to 10 teams.

She joins Super Falcons teammates Ashleigh Plumptre and Francisca Ordega in Saudi Arabia.
