“Yanga Princess wishes Aisha Masaka good luck after signing for BK Hacken FF Club which plays in the Swedish Women’s Premier League.” They also had a farewell event during her last match, where Yanga won 1-0 over Ilala Queens.

Lunyamila was glad to receive such an award and wrote in her Instagram account: Lord is good all the time, never give up, work hard, dream big. It is a milestone in the women’s mainland league witnessing five of its players joining giant international clubs.
