Nigeria defender Shukurat Oladipo signs three-year contract extension with AS Roma

Nigeria international Shukurat Oladipo has committed her long-term future to Italian champions AS Roma after signing a new three-year contract extension with the Serie A Femminile giants.

The new agreement will keep the Super Falcons defender at the club until June 30, 2029, underlining Roma’s confidence in her ability and importance to their plans for the coming seasons.

AS Roma confirmed the contract extension in an official statement published on the club’s website, expressing their delight at securing the services of one of Nigeria’s most promising defenders.

“AS Roma are delighted to announce that Shukurat Oladipo has extended her contract with the club until 30 June 2029,” the club announced.

The extension represents a significant milestone in Oladipo’s career, rewarding her progress since arriving in Italy and highlighting the impact she has made at one of Europe’s leading women’s clubs.

Known for her composure in defence, physical presence and tactical awareness, the Nigerian has continued to establish herself as an important member of Roma’s squad. Her ability to play across the backline, combined with her defensive discipline and confidence on the ball, has made her a valuable asset for the Serie A Femminile champions.

The new contract also reflects Roma’s commitment to retaining the core of a squad that has enjoyed considerable success in recent seasons. By tying Oladipo down to a long-term deal, the club has ensured that one of its key defensive players will remain part of its project as it aims to defend domestic honours and compete strongly in European competitions.

For Oladipo, the contract extension is another major achievement in what has been a rapidly developing career. The defender has continued to grow in stature both at club level and with Nigeria’s Super Falcons, earning recognition as one of the country’s brightest defensive talents.

Her continued stay in Rome will provide stability as she seeks to further establish herself among the top defenders in European women’s football. Playing regularly for one of Italy’s biggest clubs also enhances her prospects of maintaining a key role with the Super Falcons in future international competitions.

Roma’s decision to extend her contract demonstrates the club’s faith in her long-term potential and their belief that she can continue contributing to the team’s success over the next several years.

With her future now secured until 2029, Oladipo can fully focus on helping AS Roma build on their recent achievements, with the Italian champions targeting more domestic silverware and strong performances on the continental stage.

The new deal is not only a significant boost for Roma but also positive news for Nigerian football, as one of the Super Falcons’ rising stars continues her development at the highest level of European women’s football.
