Oshoala leaves Barca feminine for Bay FC

Nigerian star striker Asisat Oshoala has opted for a move away from Barcelona after five trophy-filled years to join NWSL expansion side Bay FC.

This highly surprising move was confirmed on Thursday and it sees Oshoala depart the Catalan giants after a remarkable haul of 117 goals and 14 trophies.

Oshoala joins Bay FC on a contract through the 2026 season with an option for 2027, offering the chance to be a foundational piece in building a winning culture at the brand-new club.

“To have the opportunity to add a player of Asisat’s quality, experience and winning pedigree to our roster is an exciting and important day for the club and the NWSL,” said Bay FC General Manager Lucy Rushton on the club’s website.
