Rafiat Sule
association football player
Rafiat Folakemi Sule (born 3 August 2000), is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays as a forward at club level for the Bari-based A.S.D. Pink Sport Time, in Italian Serie A. She previously donned the colours of Rivers Angels, and was top scorer in the league for two consecutive seasons. She has been described as "technically sound" with a sharp eye for goals from all distance.
Club career
During the 2015 season, Sule scored 11 goals in the league and two goals in the Federations Cup. She dedicated her golden boot to her deceased father and to her teammates for the motivation, describing the award as a sign that she was on the right path to realize her dreams. In 2016, her performance for Bayelsa Queens led to her nomination for the May 2016 player of the month. In March 2017, Sule, alongside Cecilia Nku, Halimatu Ayinde and Tochukwu Oluehi, were signed by Rivers Angels.
At the 2017 Ladies in Sports conference, Sule was honoured for her outstanding performance during the previous season.
She joined the Italian Serie A A.S.D. Pink Sport Time team based in Bari in August 2020.
International career
In February 2018, Sule was invited to the camp of the Nigerian national team ahead of the WAFU Cup in Côte d'Ivoire, but did not make the final squad list.

Why this record matters
The phrase “association football player” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q49560177. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 1 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2000, 2015, 2016 and 2017.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
