Nigeria international Shukurat Oladipo has been crowned the Best Defender of the Season in Italy’s Serie A Femminile after an impressive campaign with AS Roma Women.
The 21-year-old defender received the award during a gala ceremony held on Monday night following her standout performances throughout the season.
Oladipo was also named in the league’s Team of the Season after helping Roma secure their third league title in four years.
The Super Falcons star joined Roma in February 2025 from Robo Queens and quickly established herself as one of the club’s most reliable defenders.
She made 18 league appearances during the campaign as Roma recorded one of the best defensive records in the division and suffered just a single defeat all season.
Roma will now look to rely on Oladipo’s defensive strength again when they face Juventus Women on May 24.
Oladipo was also part of the Nigerian squad that won the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations title.
