By Oyediji Oluwaseun Babatunde

Nigeria’s senior women’s national team captain, Rasheedat Ajibade, made her debut for French Première Ligue Féminine side Paris Saint-Germain as her compatriot Jennifer Echegini registered an assist in a 1-1 draw against Lens on Saturday.

Echegini created the opener, setting up Merveille Kanjinga in the 25th minute at the Degouve Brabant Stadium in Arras.

The capital side looked set to begin the 2025/26 league campaign with an away victory, but Sherly Jeudy struck in the 84th minute to deny them maximum points.

Ajibade came on at halftime, replacing American international Crystal Dunn, while Echegini, who had earlier provided the assist, picked up a yellow card in the 86th minute.

PSG will be aiming for their first win of the season when they host Nantes on September 20, 2025.
