Former Barcelona star Asisat Oshoala set to lead Bay FC in NWSL debut
Expansion side Bay FC will face Angel City FC in the early hours of Monday to mark their first game in the league.
Oshoala joined Bay FC for a reported contract fee of $162,000 until 2026.
Joining Oshoala at Bay FC is Racheal Kundananji, whose $785,000 transfer fee from Madrid CFF set a world record as well as Deyna Castellanos who joined from Manchester City and Jen Beattie joined from Arsenal.
A prolific goalscorer, Asisat Oshoala netted an impressive 117 goals for Barcelona in all competitions across her five-year stint.
Oshoala didn't just score goals, she scored history. She became the first African woman to win the UEFA Women's Champions League, achieving this feat twice in 2021 and 2023.
The game against Angel City FC is scheduled to be held at the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles.
This isn't the first time these California rivals will meet. They previously battled to a 0-0 draw during the Coachella Valley Invitational preseason tournament.
