The Confederation of African Football, CAF has a few hours ago, released the CAF women best eleven, after the final game of the 2018 AWCON in Ghana.
The 2018 AWCON which was hosted by Ghana, was won by the usual suspects, the Super Falcons of Nigeria, in a tournament seen by many as their worse performance in all the 11th time the competition have been in existence. But somehow, they managed to win the 11th edition in Ghana, making it their 9th time of winning the Competition.
The poor showing of the Super Falcons, also reflected in the CAF Women Best eleven for 2018, as current African footballer of the year, Oshoala who had a very poor tournament, could only make the substitute list, together with her teammate, Francisca Ordega.
In all, there were a total of four Super Falcons players in the team, with only just two making the CAF Women best eleven, which are Onome Ebi and Oluehi. See the full list of CAF Women best eleven:
