Suliat Abideen Joins Fenerbahçe as Turkish Champions Secure Nigerian Star

Turkish Women’s Super League champions Fenerbahçe have officially completed the signing of Nigerian attacking midfielder Suliat Olajumoke Abideen.

The 24-year-old playmaker makes a high-profile switch across the league from title rivals ABB Fomget GSK, putting pen to paper on a contract that keeps her in the iconic Yellow and Blue stripes until the end of the season.

Suliat Abideen Joins Fenerbahçe to Fuel Title Defense

Fenerbahçe welcomed the highly-rated Nigerian international to the squad via their official social media platforms over the weekend.

Having thoroughly impressed during her debut campaign in Europe with Fomget—where she registered 8 goals across 17 league appearances—Abideen brings proven technical quality and domestic pedigree to the reigning champions.

The former NWFL Super-6 Most Valuable Player will immediately link up with her new teammates as preparations ramp up for a heavily congested domestic and continental calendar.

The club’s official statement expressed immense delight with the acquisition, stating:

“We welcome her to our club and wish her many successes in our striped jersey.”

UEFA Women’s Champions League Target for Nigerian Star

While the Turkish domestic league is not scheduled to commence until August 22, 2026, Abideen’s immediate focus shifts directly to Europe.

Fenerbahçe are heavily preparing for their highly anticipated UEFA Women’s Champions League (UWCL) Round 2 mini-tournament qualifier on August 5 against Ukrainian champions Metalist 1925 Kharkiv.

The vital qualifying bracket also features Belgian heavyweights Oud-Heverlee Leuven (OHL) and TSC, setting up a brutal test of continental ambitions.

With her quick adaptation and clinical execution from midfield, the dynamic Nigerian stands poised to dictate the tempo as the Yellow Canaries hunt down a spot in the European group stage.
