Oshoala and Kundananji celebrated by Bay FC
Oshoala, the talismanic Super Falcons legend, will be spearheading Nigeria's quest for a maiden Olympic medal, with the record African Women's Player of the Year determined to guide her nation beyond the group stage.
The 28-year-old Barcelona forward will be crucial to the Super Falcons' chances, with Nigeria drawn in a tough group against Brazil, Spain and Japan.
"Good luck at #Paris2024, #BayFC is behind you!" the club shared on social media, alongside heartwarming photos of Oshoala beaming with pride.
Nigeria, making their first Olympic appearance since 2008, will be aiming to improve on their previous performances, having never progressed beyond the group stage in 2000 and 2008.
But with Oshoala leading the way, the Super Falcons will be brimming with confidence and determination to make history in Paris.
Meanwhile, Kundananji's inclusion in Zambia's Olympic squad is a remarkable achievement, particularly after she shattered the record for the most expensive player in women's football history with her move to Bay FC.
The 23-year-old striker will be a key figure for the Copper Queens as they take on a daunting group featuring four-time champions USA, Australia and Germany.
Kundananji, along with the deadly strike partner Barbra Banda, will be tasked with inspiring Zambia to build on their debut Olympic appearance in Tokyo 2020, where they bowed out in the group stage.
As the world's attention turns to the Paris Olympics, the Bay FC duo of Oshoala and Kundananji will be carrying the hopes and dreams of their respective nations on their shoulders.
With the unwavering support of their adoring club and fans, these two trailblazers will be more than ready to seize their moment and etch their names into the annals of Olympic history.
