“CHAMPIONSSSS; From cage football in Brixton with Afewes training centre to winning the Serie A Women’s league in Rome,” Babajide wrote. “Growing up I always felt like we weren’t meant to make it out of where I’m from but we break barriers and change the odds regardless and I don’t take this one lightly.”
