A total of four foreign players; Mawa Traore, Sangay Moulton, Mariama Sambo and Mariama Barrie who are trading their careers with Mogbwemo Queens Football Club, the defending champion of the 2022/23 Sierra Leone Women’s Premier League, have received call-ups to represent their respective countries in the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Goalkeeper Mawa Traore who joined Mogbwemo Queens FC four months ago was one of the impressive performers during the CAF Women’s Champions League Zonal qualifiers held in Liberia. She won the Player of the Match award when Mogbwemo Queens FC held AS Mande of Mali, who emerged as champions of the Zonal qualifiers to a goalless draw and has been invited to join the Guinea national female team for the clash against Mauritius.
Sangay Moulton who plays as a right-back contributed greatly to Mogbwemo Queens Football Club’s success in clinching the first-ever Sierra Leone Women’s Premier League, as well as had a masterful display in the CAF Women’s Champions League zonal qualifiers hosted in her country and eventually earned her a call-up for Liberia’s female national team Women’s AFCON qualifiers tie against Cape Verde.
Mariama Sambo, a sensational midfielder who has previously represented the Guinea-Bissau Under-20 side has received a senior call-up as they will be in action against Congo.
Striker Mariama Barrie who displayed astounding performances in her competitive appearances for Mogbwemo Queens FC, in the CAF Women’s Champions League Zonal qualifiers after her service was captured four months ago, also received a call-up from the Guinea female national team for the match against Mauritius.
The Chief Executive Officer of Mogbwemo Queens Football Club, Lawyer Emmanuel Tondoneh, told NewsFeed Sierra Leone that he is delighted with the progress of the players, adding “Well done to all and we wish them luck,” he remarked. *Sierra Leone’s President Julius Maada Bio Addresses High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development as Chair of the Group of Seven Plus (g7+) Countries*
