Shukurat Oladipo enjoys winning debut with AS Roma against Fiorentina

By Oyediji Oluwaseun Babatunde

Nigeria international Shukurat Oladipo made her debut for the Italian side Roma’s Women’s team.

She played in their 1-0 victory over Fiorentina, entering the match in the 75th minute as a substitute for French International Hawa Cissoko.

The game served as her first for the former Italian league winners since joining the team from Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) Premiership side, FC Robo Queens.

Manuela Giugliano’s 48th-minute penalty separated both sides at the Curve Fiesole, Viola Park, Bagno a Ripoli.

They occupy the third and final Champions League place on the Italian Serie A Women’s Championship log, winning 45 points after 26 games.

With a match to spare, the team has picked their European tournament ticket.

They will wrap up their season against champions, Juventus on May 17, 2025.
