“There is no retirement announcement from Oshoala. It’s fake news and it should be totally disregarded. She is focused on WAFCON and the task ahead,” the source said

The Super Falcons face a tough semi-final clash against South Africa Tuesday, and Oshoala remains determined to lead the charge for victory.
