Originally from Montreal, Latifah Abdu discovered her passion for soccer at the age of nine with the Lachine Soccer Club before honing her skills at Lakeshore SC. Her talent quickly stood out, setting her on an exceptional path that would lead her to play in the top tier of French women's football. 

In 2018 and 2019, Latifah shone in the Première ligue de soccer du Québec (PLSQ), scoring a total of 10 goals over two seasons with the Lakers du Lac Saint-Louis and CS Monteuil. This promising start propelled her into the professional world when she signed with the French club Soyaux in 2020, beginning her journey in the elite Arkema Division 1 Féminine. 

Returning to Canada in 2021, she joined CS Mont-Royal Outremont, where she made her mark by winning the Golden Boot and being named the third-best player in the PLSQ. The following year, Latifah returned to France to play for Metz, later joining Strasbourg, where she delivered a memorable hat-trick against her former club in January 2023. In July 2023, she signed with Dijon FCO, scoring her first goal for the club a few months later. In 2024, she continued her rise by signing with En Avant Guingamp. 

On the international stage, Latifah was called up to the Canadian national team in 2023, a milestone that highlights her talent and impact on the field. Known for her determination, her precision in front of goal, and ability to shine in critical moments, she embodies excellence and commitment. 

Now, at just 23 years old, Latifah returns to Montreal to join the Roses for their inaugural season. Her homecoming marks a symbolic and inspiring chapter: a rising star returning to shine in her hometown. Off the field, she nurtures her passion for cooking and dancing, drawing inspiration from icons like Cristiano Ronaldo and Sydney Leroux.
