The president of Shaita Angels Football Club, Benita Urey, has successfully concluded a two-day scouting mission to Ghana, where she engaged with key stakeholders in women’s football to help grow and improve the game of her club.
The productive trip, which wrapped up on Thursday, April 3, included a vibrant event that brought together female footballers from across Ghana. The primary goal of the mission was to identify potential players for Shaita Angels’ 2025/2026 season in Liberia.
Shaita Angels, based in Careysburg, is one of Liberia’s premier clubs in the Upper Women’s League and the current Orange Cup holders. Since its founding in 2019, the club has gained recognition for its investment in both local and international talent, with a strong focus on players from across West Africa.
Speaking upon her return to Liberia at the Roberts International Airport, Ms. Urey described the trip as a resounding success. “My trip to Ghana was a huge success. It was all about meeting people who can help push Liberian players beyond Liberia, as well as scouting players to join Shaita Angels next season,” she said.
During her visit, Urey engaged with a wide range of football professionals, including club owners from Albania and Ghana, videographers, and agents from around the world. She also strengthened relationships with Liberian footballers and local club owners, further solidifying ties within the football community.
“I’m grateful for this opportunity and pray for the success of all Shaita Angels players and the club at large,” Urey added.
The scouting mission reflects Shaita Angels’ commitment to strengthening their squad and fostering the growth of women’s football in Liberia. It also demonstrates the club’s dedication to creating opportunities for Liberian players to reach greater heights on the international stage.
This effort being part of the preparational plans of the club for the new season ahead, it is expected that new faces will be unveiled during the pre-season era of the angels as this strategic approach to scout players and develop them remains a keen concern in Liberia women football space.
