Ajibade joined Atletico Madrid in January 2021 from Avaldnes, a top-tier club in Norway. She initially signed a two-year contract, which she extended in 2022 for three more years.
During her time with Atletico Madrid, Ajibade has proven to be a key player. She has scored 40 goals in 136 appearances, showcasing her talent and consistency on the field.
Before her move to Europe, she played in Nigeria for FC Robo Queens, where she first caught the attention of international scouts.
As one of Nigeria’s most prominent female footballers, Ajibade’s next move is being watched closely by fans, especially those hopeful of seeing her in the growing NWSL.
