Super Falcons winger, Omorinsola Babajide, has completed a move to Italian Serie A Women’s club, AS Roma, on a free transfer. The 26-year-old Nigerian signed a two-year contract after leaving Spanish side UD Tenerife in May.
AS Roma officially confirmed her arrival and welcomed the speedy forward into their growing women’s squad. Babajide, who is known for her pace and attacking flair, is expected to add depth and firepower to the team’s frontline.
Reacting to the move, Babajide shared her excitement on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), writing:
“Happy to finally announce that I’ve signed for AS Roma Femminile. I’m excited to see what we can achieve together… Back in red and ready for this incredible new chapter.”
Born in England to Nigerian parents, Babajide chose to represent Nigeria at senior level and has featured for the Super Falcons in major international fixtures.
Her transfer to Roma makes her one of several Nigerian female footballers making their mark in top European clubs, further strengthening Nigeria’s image in global women’s football.
With Roma looking to build a team capable of competing at the highest levels in Europe, Babajide’s signing is seen as a big boost to their attacking plans.
This move is another proud moment for Nigerian football as players continue to shine on the world stage.
