Rasheedat Ajibade struggled to hold back tears as she played her last match for Atletico Madrid women on Sunday.
The Super Falcons’ captain was given a guard of honour by her teammates before their match against Badalona on Sunday.
Ajibade was presented with a glass frame of her jersey number, 16, and was filled with emotions as she gave a speech to her teammates, staff, and fans at the stadium.
Rasheedat Ajibade joined Atletico Madrid Women in 2021 and led the team to the Supercopa de España in 2021 and the Copa de la Reina two years later.
The forward helped Atletico Madrid to consecutive third-place finishes in the last two seasons as they featured in the UEFA Women’s Champions League qualification round.
Ajibade, in four years at the club, scored 41 goals and 11 assists in 136 appearances for the club.
