Asisat Oshoala’s newest project, the academy, expands on her commitment to provide young girls in her neighborhood access to sport and education.
“I’ve always wanted to help the young ladies in my neighborhood, and I think that this football academy will provide more females the chance to succeed by fusing sport and education. I want to express my gratitude to Nike and Women Win for supporting the creation of this platform. Together, we can do a lot more, according to Oshoala, who made the assertion in a formal statement.

The Asisat Oshoala Foundation, which was founded in 2015, will be in charge of overseeing the academy’s daily operations. Women Win, a worldwide women’s fund established in Amsterdam that promotes girls’ and women’s rights, will contribute its knowledge to the creation of the school.

“Women Win is very delighted and thrilled to be working with our longstanding partners Nike, Asisat, and the Asisat Oshoala Academy to use athletics as a tool to help girls in Nigeria gain the skills they need to exercise their rights. According to Yvonne Henry, director of Women Win brands, “This relationship and program will be essential in ensuring girls can flourish as they tackle the most urgent difficulties of adolescence and realize their innate leadership potential.”

SCHEDULE

AOA will provide 90 minutes of football instruction three to four times a week to 30 females (ages 12 to 18). A life skills component will be included to the curriculum, addressing a variety of issues related to empowerment and human rights. The academy’s graduates will be urged to use their leadership abilities to improve their local communities.

‘She Plays’ activities will be held four times a year at the academy in addition to the weekly programming. The academy will accommodate up to 100 schoolgirls each session as a result of these activities, which will expand the scope of the institution’s endeavours.
