Rasheedat Ajibade selected for FIFA Player Impact Programme

Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade has been named among 13 international football stars chosen for the second edition of FIFA’s Player Impact Programme.

The initiative, launched by FIFA, is designed to help footballers use their influence, popularity and public platforms to support positive social change in their communities.

Ajibade is one of 13 players from different parts of the world taking part in the programme, which gives participants the opportunity to develop and deliver initiatives addressing social challenges.

The projects are intended to create meaningful change within the players’ respective communities, while highlighting the contribution footballers can make away from the pitch.

FIFA’s programme focuses on social responsibility and encourages players to inspire their communities through the global reach of football.

Ajibade’s selection adds to her growing influence beyond the game and further reflects her standing as one of Nigeria’s most prominent football figures.

The midfielder remains a key member of the Super Falcons, while her latest recognition underlines her increasing profile both on and off the pitch.
