The event will hold at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere, Lagos and will herald the chain of activities lined up for this year’s Women Federation Cup final, which comes up later this month in Lagos.
Oshoala, who will grace the final in Lagos, will also hand-out signed jerseys and other football items to fans and participating teams in the final at the stadium to ginger up the younger ones.
This benevolent gesture is in tune with her heart desire to promote the game at the grassroots and help the future generation of young Nigerian players, particularly, ladies who are aspiring to attain the greatest heights in their careers.
