 FROM FC ROBO TO THE WORLD: ADEGBUYI OLUWAKEMI'S RISE EARNS HER CAF YOUNG PLAYER OF THE YEAR NOMINATION

Adegbuyi Oluwakemi's rise in women's football is becoming a story worth following. From her childhood days at FC Robo International to making headlines with Nigeria's national team, the young forward continues to show why she is one of the exciting talents to watch.


A product of FC Robo, Oluwakemi has grown through the ranks of the Lagos-based club, developing into an important player for the Robo Queens. Her performances during the Betsy Obaseki Pre-Season Tournament gave an early glimpse of what she could offer, and she has continued to build on that progress.

Her impact was particularly felt during the 2025/26 NWFL season, where she played an important role in FC Robo's campaign. She helped the club enjoy success in several competitions, including the Queens Cup, South West Pre-Season Cup and Lagos State FA Cup.


FC Robo also reached the semi-finals of the President Federation Cup, adding another notable achievement to an impressive season.

Individually, Oluwakemi had plenty to celebrate. She finished as FC Robo's highest goalscorer in the 2025/26 NWFL season, the league's third-highest goalscorer and was named NWFL Player of the Season.


Her performances also earned her recognition at the WAFU-B level, where she was named Player of the Tournament and also winning the CAF WAFU-B player of the tournament with Edo Queens 


Now representing Nigeria on the international stage, the youngster has carried that confidence into the national team. At the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, she has already recorded two goals and three assists, alongside earning a Player of the Match award.


For a player who grew up at FC Robo, seeing her progress from the club's grassroots setup to representing Nigeria on the world stage is a proud moment for the club.

Her impressive performances have now earned her a nomination for the 2026 CAF Young Player of the Year award, placing her among the young talents attracting attention across African football.


From the early days at FC Robo to her growing influence with the national team, Oluwakemi's journey is a reminder of what patience, hard work and proper player development can produce.


At just 16, she still has plenty of room to grow, but one thing is already clear: Adegbuyi Oluwakemi is making her mark, and her story is only just beginning.


From FC Robo's grassroots to the African stage, the journey continues.

 Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade has showed her disappointment following the Confederation of African Football’s decision to postpone the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations. CAF announced on Thursday that the tournament, originally scheduled to kick off in Morocco on 17 March, has been moved to July 2026. The continental football body said the postponement was due to unforeseen circumstances. Some of the 16 qualified teams had preparations in top gear ahead of the competition and took part in friendly matches during the recent international window.
