Super Falcons’ Rinsola Babajide Honors Childhood Coach with Special Gift

Super Falcons forward Rinsola Babajide has demonstrated a touching act of gratitude by honouring the man who played a pivotal role in shaping her football journey. Fresh from helping Nigeria clinch victory at the 2024 Africa Women’s Cup of Nations (WAFCON), Babajide returned to her base to personally thank her childhood coach, Steadman Scott.


According to local media reports, the 26-year-old star presented Coach Scott with a cash gift in appreciation for his dedication and guidance during her formative years in football (Daily Trust, 2025). The gesture, though simple, carried deep sentimental value, symbolizing Babajide’s recognition of the sacrifices and mentorship that laid the foundation for her professional career.

Coach Steadman Scott, known for nurturing young talent in his community, reportedly played an instrumental role in Babajide’s early development, offering both technical training and moral support. Speaking after the presentation, Scott expressed pride in her achievements, noting that watching her succeed on the continental stage was as rewarding as the gift itself.

Babajide, who was part of the Super Falcons squad that triumphed over Morocco in the WAFCON final, has often spoken about the importance of remembering one’s roots. Her recent gesture reinforces her commitment to acknowledging those who contributed to her success.

This act has earned praise from fans and football stakeholders alike, with many describing it as an exemplary show of humility and respect in professional sports. As one social media user noted, “It’s not just about winning trophies; it’s about remembering those who helped you get there” (Punch Sports Extra, 2025).

With her career continuing on an upward trajectory, Babajide’s tribute to Coach Scott stands as a reminder that behind every champion is a mentor whose belief made the dream possible.
