19-year-old Olamide Oyinlola, a standout performer at the 2022 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in India, has joined MFA Žalgiris-MRU in the Women’s A League. The young defender, who helped Nigeria clinch third place at the tournament, continues her European journey after a stint at a La Liga football academy in Madrid.

 

She officially joined the Lithuanian side in early April and quickly made her competitive debut. Oyinlola featured in two matches last week, including a substitute appearance for the club’s B team on April 11. However, her defining moment came in the Round 3 clash of the Women’s A League, where she played the full 90 minutes and helped her team secure a hard-fought victory.

 

Speaking about her early days in Vilnius, she expressed gratitude for the warm welcome from her teammates and shared her excitement about the competitive environment. She remains focused on contributing significantly to her team’s ambitions this season.
