Rasheedat Ajibade, Super Falcons captain, has moved to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) Feminines.
The club announced the acquisition of the 25-year-old on
Tuesday.
Ajibade joins the club as a free agent after her contract with
Atletico Madrid ran out at the end of last season.
She penned a two-year deal with the French club till June
30, 2027.
Ajibade joins fellow Super Falcons star Jennifer Echegini on
the books of PSG.
The Falcons captain came through the ranks of FC Robo Queens
in Lagos and played for the team until she moved to Avaldsnes IL in Norway at
the age of 17.
She then joined Atletico Madrid Feminino in 2021.
Ajibade captained the Super Falcons to win the Women’s
African Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco in July.
The triumph was Nigeria’s 10th continental title, and
Ajibade was also named the best player of the tournament.
Ajibade has been open about her grass-to-grace rise from
poverty to football stardom.
She revealed that she used to hawk bottles of olive oil and
refreshment drinks at the deliverance programmes organised by the Mountain of
Fire Miracle Ministry (MFM).
She also added that she grew up in “a compound of almost 100
people” in the Mushin area of Lagos and had to “wash people’s toilets and
bathrooms for money”.
