The 21-year-old received the award at a gala ceremony on Monday night and was also included in the Serie A Women’s Team of the Season following her influential performances in Roma’s title-winning campaign, which secured the club a third championship in four seasons.
Oladipo, who joined Roma in February 2025 from Robo Queens in the Nigeria Women’s Football League, established herself as a key figure in defence during a breakout season at the highest level of Italian football.
She made 18 league appearances, starting 15 matches, and played a central role as Roma recorded 12 clean sheets while remaining unbeaten in games she featured in.
