Editorial
Rasheedat Ajibade’s exit from Atletico Madrid signifies the end of a notable chapter for both the player and the club. Since joining from Nigeria’s Robo Queens, Ajibade has grown into one of the standout performers for the Rojiblancas, contributing with crucial goals and dynamic play. Her decision not to renew her contract hints at a bigger ambition perhaps a move to a top-tier club in Europe or a new challenge entirely.
Ajibade, who joined Atletico from Robo Queens in 2021, made 138 appearances for the Spanish side, scoring 40 goals. During her tenure, she helped the club secure two major trophies the Supercopa de España in 2021 and the Copa de la Reina in 2023.
We believe that Ajibade’s journey is an inspiration for Nigerian female footballers aiming for European success. Her performances in Spain have solidified her reputation as a key figure in women’s football, and her next career move could elevate her status even further. Wherever she heads next, Ajibade’s talent and leadership will undoubtedly leave a mark.
