The Super Falcons forward has joined an organisation that supports FIFPRO and its 66 member national player organisations in their efforts to represent players in talks concerning international issues.

Super Falcons star, Rasheedat Ajibade, is the newest addition to the FIFPro Global Player Council.

“I’m looking forward to using my platform to help players in Africa and beyond.” Ajibade continued.
