Rasheedat Ajibade has obtained Diplomas in Sports Management and Coaching Psychology from El Roi London University.  

And in doing so, the Super Falcons dazzler follows in the footsteps of  Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi and Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi who have completed their diploma and degree programmes respectively.

Ndidi studied Business Management at Montfort University in Leicester while Awoniyi also bagged a business degree from Buckinghamshire New University in Wycombe.

Away from academics, Ajibade will be looking forward to helping Atlético Madrid Femenino challenge FC Barcelona for the Spanish topflight title.

The Rojiblancas forward is also set to feature in the Copa de Reina in the upcoming season.

Ajibade helped the Madrid-based club to win the Supercopa de Espana for the 2020-2021 season.

With three goals to her name, Ajibade won the highest goalscorer award during the 2022 Women Africa Cup of Nations alongside Moroccan Ghizlane Chebbak and South African Hildah Magaia.

She was a member of the Super Falcons squad that triumphed at the 2018 Women Africa Cup of Nations.
