At the moment Opa Clement is on trial to join Turkish club Yikatel Kayseri, apart from the four mentioned national team stars.<\/p>\n<p>Yanga Princess confirmed Masaka&#8217;s departure recently through the club&#8217;s official website.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yanga Princess wishes Aisha Masaka good luck after signing for BK Hacken FF Club which plays in the Swedish Women&#8217;s Premier League.&#8221; They also had a farewell event during her last match, where Yanga won 1-0 over Ilala Queens.<\/p>\n<p>At that event, she issued her remarks: I am happy to join the Swedish club BK Hacken FF. I hope this will uplift most Tanzanian ladies&#8217; morale and commitment to work hard and play for international clubs.&#8221; Masaka was a key striker to her ex-club, as she netted 35 goals in the 2020\/2021 season of Mainland Women&#8217;s Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>Following her achievement, she urged parents to support their children, especially girls to play football, as the parent support encourages a child to excel.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It has been a successful year but required my parents&#8217; support. I cherish their support. Parents should support their daughters so that they can achieve their goals as football players.&#8221; Masaka revealed her target is to become Swedish top scorer. &#8220;The goal is the same, to score in the Swedish Women League; that is my identity as Aisha Masaka. I want to become the best,&#8221; Aisha insisted.<\/p>\n<p>It will be a most delightful year if Masaka grabs the golden boot in Swedish league as Enekia Lunyamila was crowned the best player of the year 2021 last week.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s mainland league witnessing five of its players joining giant international clubs.<\/p>\n<p>Masaka has joined the Swedish Women League champions who played UEFA Champions League in the previous season but were knocked out by Manchester City.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/tanzania\">Tanzania<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
