Transfer: Super Falcons Defender, Demehin Joins Galatasaray

Nigerian defender Oluwatosin Demehin has signed a one-year contract with Turkish Super Lig club Galatasaray Petrol Ofisi for the 2024/2025 season.

The club announced her arrival on Monday, sharing photos of Demehin donning the Galatasaray jersey after signing the contract.

EDITOR’S PICKS

Demehin began her career in the Nigerian Women’s Football League, playing for Sunshine Stars and Rivers Angels FC.

She gained international prominence as a member of the Nigerian Falconets during the 2022 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup, which led to her transfer to French club Reims for further development.

The talented defender has since represented the Super Falcons in major tournaments, including the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup and the upcoming 2024 Olympic Games women’s football event.

Her impressive performances on the international stage have paved the way for this latest career move.

At Galatasaray, Demehin will be part of the women’s team, joining her compatriot Victor Osimhen, who will play for the men’s side after his loan transfer from Napoli.

This dual Nigerian representation at the Turkish club adds an intriguing element to their roster in both men’s and women’s football.
