Super Falcons Star Omorinsola Babajide Joins AS Roma Women in Landmark Transfer

Super Falcons forward Omorinsola Babajide has completed a move to Italian Serie A Women’s side AS Roma, marking a major milestone in her career and further enhancing the international profile of Nigerian women’s football.

Babajide’s transfer follows a string of impressive performances at both club and international levels, which attracted interest from several European teams. AS Roma, continuing their strong investment in women’s football, secured the forward to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new season.

Eligible to represent both England and Nigeria, Babajide earned her first call-up to the Nigerian national team in 2023. Since then, she has stood out with her speed, technical skill, and natural goal-scoring ability — traits that make her a valuable addition to the Roma squad. Her move to Italy is expected to offer her greater visibility and the opportunity to play in high-stakes competitions, including the UEFA Women’s Champions League, should Roma qualify.

The signing is seen as a significant gain for both club and country. Roma continues to strengthen its squad with top-tier talent, while Nigerian football benefits from the growing presence of Super Falcons stars in elite European leagues.

Babajide now joins a distinguished group of Nigerian players making waves abroad, and her performance in Serie A will be closely watched by fans and analysts alike. Her success could pave the way for more African talents to break into top European clubs.
