French football club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has officially announced the signing of Super Falcons forward Rasheedat Ajibade.
The captain, who led her team to victory in the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), has joined on a two-year contract after departing from Spanish club Atlético de Madrid at the conclusion of the last season.
“I am truly honored to be joining Paris Saint-Germain, a prestigious club in Europe. This is a significant step for me, and I am dedicated to giving my best to help PSG win titles and inspire young footballers, whether in Nigeria or elsewhere,” Ajibade stated after finalizing the transfer.

Ajibade excelled at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, where she was named Player of the Tournament after scoring one goal and providing two assists, contributing to Nigeria’s record 10th continental championship.
