Falconets midfielder and former Captain of Nigeria’s U-17 women’s National Team, Shakirat Moshood, has taken a significant step in her career by completing a move to Portuguese side SCU Torreense.

The talented youngster continues her steady rise in women’s football following a series of impressive performances on both the domestic and international stages. Moshood first gained widespread recognition for her leadership role with the Flamingos at the 2024 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in the Dominican Republic, where she delivered standout performances. Her hard work pays off as she finishes as she was recognized as the tournament’s third-highest goal scorer, while also earning a nomination for the CAF Women’s Youth Player of the Year award, where she emerged as first runner-up.

At club level, Moshood made notable contributions to Bayelsa Queens during the 2026 Nigeria Women’s Football League (NWFL) Premiership season, showcasing her consistency, work rate, and technical quality.

Her development as an uprising professional footballer has continued on the international scene, as she stepped up to the Nigeria U-20 women’s national team, the Falconets. She played a pivotal role in the squad that successfully secured qualification for the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Poland.

The move to SCU Torreense marks a new chapter for the promising midfielder, who has signed a two-year contract with the Portuguese club. The transfer is expected to provide her with a platform to further develop her game at the European level while gaining valuable professional experience.

Shakirat Moshood continues to establish herself as one of Nigeria’s brightest young talents, poised to make an even greater impact in the global women’s football scene.
