Asisat Oshoala, the Nigerian striker for Al‑Hilal, has been named the Saudi Women’s Premier League Player of the Month for September. The award follows an impressive month in which she scored three goals and provided two assists in just three appearances. Oshoala’s debut for Al‑Hilal was marked by a penalty‑spot goal against Al Qadsiah, and she continued her fine form by scoring and assisting in consecutive matches against Al Ahli and Neom SC. The 30‑year‑old’s move from National Women’s Soccer League club Bay FC to Al‑Hilal in August has already proven successful.
The recognition is part of a broader sweep of awards for Al‑Hilal. Teammate Layla Ali was named Goalkeeper of the Month, and coach Jose Herrera received the Coach of the Month award, underscoring the team’s strong performance in the league. The Saudi Women’s Premier League has been gaining momentum as international players like Oshoala join, boosting the league’s profile and drawing attention to women’s football in the region. Such accolades highlight the talent and dedication of the players as the competition continues to grow.
Oshoala’s achievement is especially significant given her short time with the team. Her quick adaptation and immediate impact on the pitch have earned her this recognition. As the season progresses, fans can expect more exciting performances from Oshoala and her teammates. Upcoming matches will be crucial in determining Al‑Hilal’s standing in the league, and Oshoala’s continued contributions will be key to the club’s success.
