Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade has completed a sensational move to French giants Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), marking a new chapter in her already illustrious career. The Nigerian forward, known for her blistering pace, technical brilliance, and leadership on the pitch, joins the Paris club in a deal hailed as a major milestone for African women’s football.
Ajibade, who has been a standout performer for Nigeria in multiple international tournaments, leaves behind a remarkable stint with Atlético Madrid Femenino in Spain, where she won domestic titles and established herself as one of Europe’s most dangerous attackers. Her move to PSG comes as the French side continues to bolster its squad with world-class talent in a bid to dominate both domestically and in the UEFA Women’s Champions League.
Speaking after the announcement, Ajibade expressed her excitement about the transfer: “Joining PSG is a dream come true. I am ready to give my all for the club and contribute to achieving great things on the pitch.” PSG’s sporting director praised her versatility and winning mentality, describing her as “a player who embodies the spirit and ambition of Paris Saint-Germain.”
The transfer has generated buzz across Nigeria, with fans and football analysts celebrating the deal as a win not only for Ajibade but also for the visibility of African talent on the global stage. Many see her move as inspiration for aspiring female footballers across the continent.
Ajibade is expected to make her debut for PSG in the coming weeks, as the club pushes for glory in both Ligue 1 Féminine and Europe’s elite competition. For the Super Falcons’ captain, the journey from Nigeria to Paris is more than a career move — it’s a statement that African women’s football can compete, inspire, and shine at the very highest level.
