Asisat Oshoala lands new brand deal "Google Pixel" with Smartphone company

Oshoala moved from Barcelona to American club side Bay FC earlier this year and has been a major influence on the team

The Nigerian football star, who shines with NWSL club Bay FC, has been blazing trails in the ongoing season of the National Women’s Soccer League, recently notching the first goal in her team’s NWSL debut.

Google Pixel enthusiastically welcomed Oshoala and fellow NWSL stars to their roster, announcing the partnership via Instagram. 

“When the newest #TeamPixel group chat matches the passion on the pitch. 🔥⚽️ #TeamPixel welcomes @nwsl stars @trinity_rodman, @sophsssmith, @asisat_oshoala, @alyssthomp & @giselethomp to the squad. Stay tuned to see them show out all season.”

The tech team also made and announcement, declaring, "We're thrilled to have Asisat Oshoala join Team Pixel.”

The partnership will have the Bay FC star share moments from the ongoing NWSL season, through the lens of the Google Pixel phone.

The 29-year-old athlete joins a list of celebrities and public figures who have partnered with Google Pixel, citing Grammy award-winning singer Victoria Monet as an example.

While Oshoala celebrates this exciting new venture, her team, Bay FC, faces challenges on the field. Despite her continued scoring prowess, Bay FC has dropped in the league standings after suffering two consecutive losses. 

Oshoala managed to find the net in their most recent match against San Diego, but it wasn’t enough to secure victory as Bay FC conceded a second goal in the 78th minute.

With Bay FC currently sitting in 10th position on the NWSL table, Oshoala and her teammates are undoubtedly focused on turning the tide and climbing back up the rankings.
