July 27, 2022 Ajibade, Ohale Named In WAFCON 2022 Best XI

The Confederation of African Football has released the best 11 players from the 12th Women's Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, including Super Falcons duo Rasheedat Ajibade and Osinachi Ohale.

According to CAF, Atletico Madrid forward Ajibade and Deportivo Alaves defender Ohale were two of Nigeria's most prominent stars in Morocco.

Despite missing the third-place match against Zambia due to a straight red card in the semi-final against hosts Morocco, Ajibade finished the tournament with three goals and three assists.

While Ajibade was outstanding in attack, veteran defender and four-time WAFCON winner, Ohale, delivered a strong defensive performance for the Falcons, assisting the team in keeping three clean sheets at the tournament.

The 30-year-old even received a Woman-of-the-Match award for her performance in Nigeria's 1-0 quarter-final win over Cameroon.

After the group stage, both players were named to the tournament's best 11.

Ohale and Ajibade join nine other semi-finalists' stars to form CAF's best XI for the 2022 Championship.

The Banyana Banyana team who won their first-ever WAFCON trophy after defeating hosts Morocco in the final, has four representatives.

Runners-up Morocco has three representatives, while Zambia has two players among Africa's best XI.
