Asisat Oshoala Condemns NFF Treatment of Cyriel Dessers in South Africa Match

Super Falcons star Asisat Oshoala criticized the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) for singling out Cyriel Dessers after a match against South Africa. Dessers, a dual-nationality player, was targeted for criticism despite the team's collective responsibility.

Dessers, born in Belgium to a Nigerian mother, chose to play for Nigeria. The NFF's treatment of Dessers drew ire from Nigerians, with Oshoala expressing disappointment in the federation's statement.

Dessers has previously represented Belgium at the youth level before switching allegiance to the Super Eagles. The incident highlights the complexities of player nationality and the need for fair treatment in Nigerian football.
