Africa-Press – Liberia. Liberian women’s football has scored a major victory with star forward Jessica Quachie, affectionately dubbed “the Messi of Women’s Football”, signing a two-year deal with Hapoel Jerusalem, a top-tier club in the Israeli Premier League.
The explosive attacker becomes one of the very few Liberian female players to land a professional contract in a major international league sending ripples of excitement across the country’s football community.
Her club, Real Muja FC, confirmed the news on Friday via a post on its official Facebook page, calling the move “a proud moment for Real Muja and a victory for women’s football in Liberia.”
“We are proud to announce that our very own Jessica Quachie has completed a two-year move to Hapoel Jerusalem in Israel,” the statement read. “This is not just a transfer; it is history in motion.”

Jessica’s journey from dusty pitches in Liberia to the stadium lights of Jerusalem is being celebrated as a testament to grit, talent, and the power of opportunity.
Known for her dazzling footwork, sharp instincts, and ability to turn games on their head, Quachie has earned comparisons to Lionel Messi not just for her style of play, but for her humble rise through adversity.
“This move means everything to me,” Jessica told FrontPageAfrica in a brief interview. “I thank Real Muja for believing in me and helping me reach this point. I promise to represent Liberia with pride, and I’m ready to give everything for Hapoel.”
A New Chapter
At a young age Jessica Quachie is entering her prime and she’s set to be a central figure in Hapoel Jerusalem’s ambitions this season. The Israeli side is said to have tracked her for months, impressed by her performances in the local league and her recent showing in regional tournaments.
Back home, football fans have hailed the move as a “win for Liberian talent,” with some saying there is a need for continued investment in the women’s game.
“Jessica’s deal proves what we’ve always said Liberian girls have what it takes,” said Thomas King. “Now it’s time we invest more and give them the platform to shine.
