Asisat Oshoala Gifts Former Coach New Car in Appreciation

Asisat Oshoala, a forward for the Super Falcons, has surprised her former coach, Emmanuel Osahon Orobosa, with a brand new Toyota Highlander. This gift is a way for her to show appreciation for his support during her early football career.

The gesture was announced by FC Robo International, the club where Oshoala began her journey. They thanked Oshoala for remembering those who helped her succeed, even after she became one of Africa’s top female football players.

Orobosa, who is also the founder and head coach of FC Robo International, played a crucial role in developing Oshoala’s talent from her teenage years. The club highlighted how he provided guidance and support since 2009, when Oshoala first began to gain attention for her skills.

In their statement, FC Robo noted that Oshoala’s gift is a reminder of the importance of gratitude and loyalty. They recalled her previous support for the club, including a donation of a bus during her early career in Europe.

Oshoala’s relationship with Orobosa dates back to when she faced opposition from her family regarding her football ambitions. Growing up in Lagos, she often played with boys and had to sneak around to pursue her passion. Orobosa even visited her family to help convince them to support her dreams.

Since starting her career at FC Robo at age 15, Oshoala has achieved significant milestones, including playing for top clubs like Liverpool, Arsenal, and Barcelona. She has also represented Nigeria in several international tournaments, winning numerous accolades along the way.
