Asisat Oshoala, Super Falcons and Barcelona Femini forward, has been crowned the African women best player of the year for a record sixth time.

The 29 year old was announced the winner of the gong at the gala held at Marrakesh, Morocco, Monday night.

The triumph is Oshoala's sixth time winning the award, pulling clear as the footballer with the most wins.

Oshoala, who plays club football for Barcelona, beat South Africa’s Thembi Klagtlana and Zambia’s Barbara Banda to the award.

She played a key role in Barcelona Femeni’s UEFA Women’s Champions League success last season.

The Barcelona Femeni star becomes the first woman to claim the award for a record sixth time. 

Recall Oshoala was also a 2023 Ballon d’Or nominee.
