This championship victory is particularly significant as it represents the club's third league title in the last four years, further cementing AS Roma's status as the dominant force in Italian women's football. For Babajide and Oladipo, the title serves as a perfect start to their European adventure, validating their decision to move to the Italian capital.
Shukurat Oladipo has been a cornerstone of the Roma defense throughout the campaign. The 21-year-old center-back has been instrumental in the team's solidity, appearing in 16 league matches and logging over 1,200 minutes of action. Her defensive prowess has been a critical factor in Roma's ability to navigate the demanding schedule of a championship-winning season.
On the attacking front, Rinsola Babajide has made her presence felt in the limited opportunities afforded to her. Despite a highly competitive squad, Babajide has managed to provide three goal contributions in nine league appearances, proving her value as a dynamic winger whenever called upon by the coaching staff. Her ability to impact games from the bench or as a starter has been a valuable asset for the team.
The double success of winning both the 2025 WAFCON with the Super Falcons and the Serie A title with AS Roma marks an incredible year for the two Nigerian internationals. Their rapid adaptation to the intensity of Italian football and their immediate contribution to a title-winning side have made them instant fan favorites in Rome.
With the league title now safely in the cabinet, the focus for Babajide, Oladipo, and their teammates shifts to the upcoming Coppa Italia Women Final against Juventus on May 24. A win in that match would complete a domestic double, adding yet another layer of glory to what is already a dream season for the Nigerian stars. As they continue to grow and develop in one of Europe's top leagues, their success serves as a glowing testament to the rising profile of Nigerian women's football on the global stage.
