French giants Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have announced the signing of Super Falcons forward Rasheedat Ajibade.

Born on December 8, 1999, in Lagos, Ajibade began her career at the age of 13 with FC Robo Queens in the Nigerian league.

She emerged early on as a prodigy in African women’s football, notably receiving the title of NFF Young Player of the Year in 2018.

Captain of the Nigerian Super Falcons, Ajibade led her team to the continental title at the 2018 Africa Women’s Cup of Nations and in 2024.

Ajibade played in the 2023 World Cup and the 2024 Paris Olympic Games as an undisputed starter. With more than 30 caps already, she is now a central figure in Nigerian football.

Speaking on her move to PSG, Ajibade said: “I am deeply honored to join Paris Saint-Germain, a leading club in Europe. This is a major milestone for me.

“I am committed to giving everything I have to help PSG win trophies and inspire young female footballers, both in Nigeria and beyond.”
