Super Falcons star Rasheedat Ajibade was brought to tears as her Spanish club, Atletico Madrid Femenina, orchestrated a heartwarming reunion between the forward and her mother, Ajoke, in celebration of Mother’s Day.
In a video posted on the club’s Instagram page, Ajibade was stunned after seeing her mother walk into the studio in Madrid during a club interview.
At the sight of her mother, an emotional Ajibade could not hold back as she went down to the floor in tears, before rushing towards her mother for a warm embrace.
She said, “I didn’t expect to see her, so I was so surprised and I think it is a great moment for me. It’s like no way, ‘am I dreaming or is this the spirit of my mother?”
Ajibade’s mother had the opportunity to accompany her to public places, savouring every precious moment together.
It was a big moment for the Falcons star, who had her mother in attendance as she scored in a league match, a tremendous moment she had never before witnessed.
Reflecting on the match, Ajibade said, “It was an emotional game for me. I think this is going to live in my heart forever because it is the first time my mom comes to the field to watch me play football. And I was so happy that I could get a goal for her. It’s so special.”
Ajibade added, “My mom means a lot to me. My mom is life to me. My mom is everything I have today. I want to always make her proud. I’m happy that today I can make her proud.”
Since joining Atletico from Norway’s Avaldsnes, Ajibade has experienced numerous triumphs on the pitch, contributing to the team’s victories in the Supercopa Femenina and the Trofeo Ramon de Carranza.
So far this season, the 23-year-old has scored eight goals and registered one assist in 26 league games.
