Wuyah Sao: Banaat FC's First International Signing

A historic move for women's football in the United Arab Emirates, 23-year-old Sierra Leonean striker Wuyah Sao has officially joined Banaat FC, becoming the club's inaugural international signing.

Banaat FC, a Dubai-based women's football club, is dedicated to empowering female footballers, fostering professional opportunities, and proudly representing Arab identity while upholding Emirati culture and values.

Sao arrives in Dubai following an impressive 2024/2025 Sierra Leone Women's Premier League season, where she finished as the second-highest goal scorer.

Her signing marks a significant step for Banaat FC as they continue to build a competitive squad and advance their mission within the region's burgeoning women's sports landscape.
