Rasheedat Ajibade “Becomes Moroccan” for a Day, Cheers Atlas Lions to 1-0 Win
Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade declared herself “officially Moroccan” for 24 hours as she waved Morocco’s flag during their World Cup Group C clash with Scotland. She posted photos on social media on June 19, celebrating Ismael Saibari’s decisive strike that secured a 1-0 victory. Her Pan-African gesture stands out amid a growing rivalry between Nigeria’s Super Falcons and Morocco’s Atlas Lionesses. The two sides last met in the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations final, where Nigeria overturned a two-goal deficit to win 3-2 in Rabat. Ajibade’s show of solidarity not only boosted Morocco’s hopes of progressing in the tournament but also underlined the unity and respect shared by African football nations.
