Black Maidens Defender Hajara Adam gives back to former club Kumbungu Soccer Ladies

Ghana’s Black Maidens defender, Adam Hajara, has demonstrated her commitment to grassroots women’s football by giving back to her former club, Kumbungu Soccer Ladies FC, following her participation at the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco.

Hajara donated four footballs, soft drinks and an undisclosed sum of money to the Northern-based club in a gesture that has been warmly received by the club.

The donation reflects her appreciation for the club that played a role in her football development and her desire to support the next generation of female footballers.

The defender currently features for Tamale Super Ladies FC in the Gold Fields Women’s Premier League, having progressed from the regional football scene to the country’s top-flight women’s competition.

At the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup, Hajara was an important member of Ghana’s squad, featuring in all three group-stage matches before receiving a red card in Ghana’s Round of 16 encounter against Argentina, where the Black Maidens secured qualification to the quarter-finals through a penalty shootout victory. Ghana’s campaign eventually ended at the quarter-final stage.

Her return to Kumbungu Soccer Ladies FC with a donation is a reminder of the importance of recognising the grassroots clubs that contribute to the development of football talents.

While Hajara continues to build her career with Tamale Super Ladies in the Women’s Premier League, Kumbungu Soccer Ladies are competing in the Northern Regional Football Association (NRFA) Women’s Division One League.
