Fenerbahçe, the reigning champions of the Turkish Women's Super League, have officially announced the signing of Nigerian midfielder Suliat Abideen. The 24-year-old joins from fellow Turkish side ABB Fomget, marking her second European club after her previous stint with Fomget.
Contract Details and Club Announcement
The Istanbul-based club confirmed the transfer on Monday, stating that Abideen has signed a contract that will keep her at Fenerbahçe until the end of the current season. The agreement was finalized after successful negotiations between the two clubs.
Third Nigerian Player at Fenerbahçe
Abideen's arrival increases the Nigerian contingent at Fenerbahçe to three players. She joins compatriots Regina Otu and Flourish Sabastine, who are already part of the squad. This reflects the club's growing interest in Nigerian talent.
Rise to Prominence in Nigeria
Abideen rose to prominence after playing a key role in Edo Queens' Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) title-winning campaign in 2024. Her outstanding performances during that season earned her the NWFL Most Valuable Player award, highlighting her impact on the domestic league.
Career Progression
The move to Fenerbahçe represents a significant step in Abideen's career. After her success with Edo Queens, she moved to Turkey to join ABB Fomget, where she gained experience in European football. Now, she has the opportunity to compete for titles with one of the top clubs in the Turkish Women's Super League.
