Two Sierra Leoneans were part of the FC Riga Women’s side that won the Baltic Women’s Football League (BWFL) championship in Riga on Saturday, defeating “MFA Žalgiris-MRU” from Vilnius 7:0.

Kumba Zainab Brima, who scored a hat trick, and Hannah Juana both celebrated together after full time. Minami Oi opened the scoring with a penalty kick in the third minute, followed by two goals from Kumba Brima. Oi scored another penalty just before halftime.

In the second half, Oi, Brima, and Karen Muradyan added more goals for a strong victory.

The BWFL tournament was established in 2005 and has been running for five seasons. After the 2010 competition, the BWFL tournament was suspended, but the competition was resumed in 2017.

Since the tournament was resumed, the best achievements of the Latvian representatives have been third place in 2017, 2019 and 2022, but in recent seasons a place in the final has been won – silver for the RFS team in 2024 and gold for the “Riga” football players in 2025.
