English premier league female entity Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club has completed the signing of Tanzania’s female star Aisha Masaka.
The club’s managing director in charge of women and girl’s football Zoe Johnson welcomed the 20-year-old.
“We are really excited to welcome Aisha to Brighton. She has competed at a high and testing level in Sweden and represented Hacken in the Champions League. She is a physical striker who is dominant on the ball and a natural goal scorer. We are looking forward to welcoming her to Albion ahead of the new season” Zoe is quoted by the official club website.
Masaka joins Brighton and Hove Albion from BK Hacken in Sweden on undisclosed terms, subject to the usual regulatory processes.
She had joined Hacken in 2022 from Young Africans in Tanzania, having previously played for Alliance FC Mwanza.
Promising performance in Sweden:
In her two seasons at Hacken, the forward helped them finish second in the Swedish League and they reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League last season before losing to PSG.
During her time in the Tanzanian Premier League, she won ‘Best Goal Scorer’ in the 2020/21 campaign after netting 35 goals in 20 matches for Young Africans.
Internationally, Masaka has earned 15 caps for Tanzania, scoring nine goals since making her debut in 2021.
Masaka also represented her country at the under-17 COSAFA Cup when Tanzania won the tournament and she finished top goal scorer.
She was also part of the Tanzania squad that qualified for AFCON 2024 and will head to Morocco.
Masaka becomes the first Tanzanian player to join a team in the England Women’s Super League.
Some of the other Tanzania women professional football players include; Oppa Clement Tukumbuke (Besiktas, Turkey), Diana Lucas (Ame S.F.K, Turkey), Maimuna Kaimu (ZED FC, Egypt), Clara Luvanga (Al Nasi FC, Saudi Arabia), Juletha Singano (Juarez, Mexico) and Enekia Kasonga (Eastern Flames, Saudi Arabia).
