Kumba Zainab Brima has joined FC Riga’s women’s premier side on a two-year deal ahead of the new campaign and is set to compete in the UEFA Women’s Champions League next month.
FC Riga will be participating in this year’s Women’s UEFA Champions League, providing a great platform for the Sierra Leonean international to showcase her style and skills on the biggest stage.
The UEFA Women’s Champions League first and second qualifying round draws have been made to begin the new-look competition.
Riga’s ladies begin against Estonia side Tallinna FC Flora (EST) vs Riga FC Women (LVA) next month.
The club announced her signing via their social media pages, making her the first player from Sierra Leone to join them.
Known by her nickname, “Pele,” Kumba has been a standout player since arriving at the local club FC Kallon.
