For Nigeria, the achievement carries historic weight. It is the first time two Super Falcons players at the same club have lifted the Italian league title together.

Having both joined Roma in 2025, the duo wasted little time making their mark, lifting their first major trophy in Italy during their debut campaign and showcasing their growing influence in European football.
Their league success also crowns a remarkable run of achievements, following their triumph with Nigeria at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations 2024.
Roma’s title win additionally secures qualification for the UEFA Women’s Champions League, further raising expectations for the club’s continental ambitions.
With contracts running until 2027, Babajide and Oladipo are set to remain key figures as Roma aim to build on their domestic dominance and challenge for European glory.
