After being named Player of the Year, Rasheedat Ajibade surprised Odion Ighalo by gifting him a signed Atletico Madrid jersey

 

Super Falcons and Atletico Madrid midfielder Rasheedat Ajibade paid a unexpected visit to Super Eagles legend Odion Ighalo at his residence in Nigeria. The 24-year-old forward, who has emerged as a crucial player for the Nigerian women's national team, spent some quality time catching up with her compatriot Ighalo, who is currently plying his trade as a striker for Saudi Arabian club Al-Wehda.

Ajibade has continued to excel, solidifying her position as a crucial player for both the Super Falcons and her club, Atlético Madrid.

In the 2023/2024 season, Rasheedat Ajibade made a remarkable total of 18 goal contributions, with 10 goals and eight assists. The gesture of giving a signed jersey exemplifies the camaraderie among Nigerian footballers, even among those competing at the highest level of the sport.
