Ajibade’s PSG women face setback after points deduction
Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade and her PSG Women’s team have had their nine-point deduction upheld after an appeal. The punishment stems from a licensing issue involving Canadian player Florianne Jourde. The French Football Federation (FFF) maintained their decision despite PSG’s claims of acting in good faith. The deduction has impacted PSG’s position in the league and their hopes for the season.
Match highlights
- PSG Women were penalized over a licensing issue involving Florianne Jourde, who reportedly lacked a FIFA international transfer certificate.
- The French Football Federation (FFF) first sanctioned PSG on December 22, 2025, after a complaint from Fleury, whom PSG had beaten 4-0 on November 8.
- The forfeiture was extended to earlier victories against Le Havre (2-0) and Strasbourg (1-0), while other results before those matches were considered time-barred.
- The penalty dropped PSG to fifth place in the league, and they recently lost 1-0 to leaders Lyon.
- Rasheedat Ajibade returned to action two weeks ago after an injury layoff since November and has made eight league appearances with one assist this season.
