Nigerian Anam Imo returns to Swedish side FC Rosengård

Swedish women’s topflight, FC Rosengård has officially announced the re-signing of Nigerian international striker Anam Imo.

The 25-year-old forward returns to the club from fellow Swedish women’s top flight side, Piteå IF, having previously represented Rosengård during the 2019 and 2020 seasons.

Emelie Lundberg, FC Rosengård’s Sports Director welcomed the forward and swas not short of praise for the new signing.

“It feels great to welcome Anam back to FC Rosengård.

She is a big, strong forward who has consistently produced goals in this league. She’s tough to face, excellent in hold-up play, and wins a lot of duels in the offensive box.”

Lundberg emphasized that Imo’s return is a strategic move to add a new dimension to their offense.

“Anam will bring vital competition to our attack, which is key to our development as a team. We believe we can help her grow further as a player — while also benefiting from her experience and physical presence.”

Imo, widely known for her strength and goal-scoring instinct in the OBOS Damallsvenskan, rejoins Rosengård after a stellar 2023 campaign where she netted 15 goals for Piteå — her most prolific season to date in Sweden’s top flight.

The signing of Imo comes at a crucial time for the reigning league champions. She will join her compatriot Halimatu Ayinde, who recently celebrated a victory with the Super Falcons at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco.

Imo hope to add her experience at Pitea to he attacking department of FC Rosengard as they aim to defend their league title and compete in the upcoming UEFA Women’s Champions League
