Asisat Oshoala, the Nigerian striker for Al-Hilal, has been named the Saudi Women’s Premier League Player of the Month for September. This recognition comes after her impressive performance, scoring three goals and providing two assists in just three appearances for her team during the month.

Oshoala’s debut for Al-Hilal was marked by a goal from the penalty spot against Al Qadsiah. She continued her fine form, scoring a goal and assisting another in consecutive matches against Al Ahli and Neom SC. The 30-year-old’s move to Al-Hilal from the National Women’s Soccer League club, Bay FC, in August has proven to be a successful one so far.

The award is not the only recognition for Al-Hilal, as Oshoala’s teammate, Layla Ali, was named the Goalkeeper of the Month, and their coach, Jose Herrera, received the Coach of the Month award. This sweep of awards highlights the team’s strong performance in the Saudi Women’s Premier League.

The Saudi Women’s Premier League has been gaining momentum, with international players like Oshoala joining the league. Her participation has not only boosted the league’s profile but also brought attention to women’s football in the region. As the league continues to grow, recognitions like the Player of the Month award serve as a testament to the talent and dedication of the players.

Oshoala’s achievement is a significant one, considering her short time with the team. Her ability to adapt quickly and make an impact on the pitch has earned her this recognition. As the season progresses, fans can expect to see more exciting performances from Oshoala and her teammates. The upcoming matches will be crucial in determining the team’s standing in the league, and Oshoala’s continued performance will be key to Al-Hilal’s success.
