Nigerian international Shukurat Oladipo has signed a new three-year contract with AS Roma, securing her future with the Italian champions. The club announced the extension in an official statement published on its website, describing the move as a reward for her strong debut season in Rome.
Oladipo, a defender for Nigeria’s Super Falcons, joined AS Roma ahead of the 2025 season and quickly established herself in the Serie A side. Her performances earned praise from coaching staff and supporters, contributing to the team’s league title win. The Giallorossi highlighted her consistency and defensive resilience in their official announcement.
“AS Roma are delighted to announce that Shukurat Oladipo has extended her contract with the club,” the statement read. “The Nigerian centre-back has committed her future to the club until 2029.” The deal ensures Oladipo remains a key part of Roma’s defensive lineup in the coming seasons.
Her re-signing comes amid growing recognition for African players in Europe’s top women’s leagues. Oladipo joins a small group of Nigerian athletes securing long-term contracts abroad. The club did not disclose financial terms of the agreement. AS Roma’s management emphasized their commitment to building a competitive squad ahead of continental campaigns next season.
