CAF Women's IX
Despite winning the Goalkeeper of the Year Award for consecutive editions, Chiamaka Nnadozie was snubbed for the second year running in the Women's XI, with South Africa’s Andile Dlamini beating her to the chase on both occasions.
Super Falcons duo Osinachi Ohale and Michelle Alozie retained their places from last year in the backline and were joined by Bayana Bayana’s Karabo Dlamini.
Rasheedat Ajibade got a well-deserved spot in midfield and was joined by South African duo Linda Mothalo and Lebohang Ramalepe and Atlas Lioness’s Ghizlane Chebbak.
Oshoala started in attack again, and like last year, was partnered with Zambia's Barbra Banda and Malawi’s Tabitha Chawinga.
