Super Falcons forward Rinsola Babajide has officially signed with Italian giants AS Roma, marking a significant step in her professional football career.
The deal, which was announced on Saturday, July 12, 2025, sees the 26-year-old Nigerian international join the reigning Serie A Women’s champions after a successful stint in Spain with UD Tenerife. Babajide is expected to add pace, versatility, and attacking depth to the Roma squad as they prepare for both domestic and European competitions in the upcoming season.
Reacting to her transfer, Babajide expressed excitement and gratitude for the new opportunity. “I’m thrilled to be part of a club with such history and ambition. I can’t wait to hit the ground running and contribute to the team’s success,” she said during her unveiling.
AS Roma Women’s head coach lauded Babajide’s technical ability, experience on the international stage, and her dynamic style of play, describing her as a “perfect fit for the club’s playing philosophy.”
Born in England to Nigerian parents, Babajide has represented Nigeria’s Super Falcons in major competitions and has earned praise for her speed, dribbling skills, and goal-scoring instinct.
Her move to AS Roma is seen as a strategic career progression, especially as the Italian women’s league continues to attract global talent and expand its competitive edge in Europe.
Fans and analysts believe Babajide’s addition could bolster Roma’s attacking options as the club looks to defend its Serie A title and push for UEFA Women’s Champions League glory.
