Atlético’s Ajibade “honoured and delighted” to give back to former club

Super Falcons and Atlético Feminino forward Rasheedat Ajibade has expressed excitement about her ability to help her ex-club FC Robo.

The star girl of Nigeria football, who is presently on break from club engagements, is in Nigeria for holidays.

Just like some foreign-based Nigerian footballers have been accustomed to, Ajibade has visited the country during her vacation.

She decided to gift her former team with football kits and other materials useful for the development of the club.

Ajibade featured for FC Robo between 2013 and 2018 before joining Avaldsnes. The 23-year-old signed for Atlético on 1 January 2021 and has been one of their best players since then.

In a tweet on Sunday, Ajibade acknowledged that FC Robo “paved the way” for her in professional football and has shown gratitude by giving back to the sports institution based in Lagos.

I’m honoured and delighted to be able to give back to my former club, FC Robo. The club that paved the way for me in professional football.
