Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. Sierra Leonean forward Kumba Zainab Brima has won her first league championship with Riga FC Women in the Latvian Women’s Championship, marking a new milestone in her professional football journey.
Brima joined Riga FC Women in June 2025 after a record-breaking spell with FC Kallon Female in the Sierra Leone Women’s Premier League, where she emerged as the league’s top scorer with 39 goals in the 2023/24 season. Her transition to European football has been nothing short of remarkable, scoring multiple hat-tricks and delivering key performances that helped Riga FC Women secure the league title.
Her impact was also felt in continental competition, where she scored four goals in her UEFA Women’s Champions League debut against Flora Tallinn, announcing her arrival on the European stage.
Speaking after the team’s league triumph, her agent Chernor Musa Jalloh expressed his pride and admiration for the young star.
“I’m beyond thrilled for Kumba. Her journey from Sierra Leone to this pinnacle of success is truly inspiring. She’s broken barriers and paved the way for young female footballers back home and around the world. From grass to grace she’s proof that dreams do come true.”
He further extended appreciation to Aleksandrs Cekulajevs (MNG Sports Agency), Mohamed Kallon, Tunde Romario Scott, FC Kallon Female, the SLFA, and Nums Tunkara (Fella Sport Management) for their collaboration and support, as well as European partners Global Soccer Management, Sportgenia Consulting, and Patrick Mörk.
Kumba Brima’s triumph adds to the growing list of Sierra Leonean players making their mark on the international stage. According to her management, “big news awaits” as the talented striker prepares for her next professional chapter in Europe.
