Napoli Women confirmed the signing of Nigerian international defender Chidinma Okeke from Mexican club América Femenil on September 18, 2026. The 26-year-old centre-back signed a permanent two-year contract, which will keep her at the Italian club until 2028.
Okeke made 27 Liga MX Femenil appearances in the 2025/26 season and contributed to América's victory in the CONCACAF Champions Cup. Her career has spanned three continents, having played for Robo Queens in Nigeria, Madrid CFF in Spain, Mynavi Sendai in Japan, and América Femenil since August 2024.
