Hasaacas Ladies forward, Mukarama Abdulai, has praised the efforts of her team following their success in the 2023/24 Malta Guinness Women's Premier League season.
The Hasmal Ladies beat Ampem Darkoa Ladies 2-1 in the final on Saturday, June 8, 2024, at the University of Ghana to end the latter's dream of a three-peat.
Mukarama was on the scoresheet on the night for the Sekondi-based side after Veronica Baa Kumah had opened the scoring in the game, going on to win their first league title since the 2020/21 season.
Speaking to Joy Sports after the game, the former Northern Ladies striker couldn't hide her excitement.
Love that @AbdulaiMukarama got emotional when I spoke to her after @HasaacasLadies had won the 2023/24 Malta Guinness Women’s Premier League title.
The last two years had been difficult for her but good to see she’s enjoying her game now.

"Right now, I am so happy. I am so proud of the team and myself," she said. "Looking back to how we struggled in the second round and getting to this point, I feel very proud."

Her successes come at the right time for her following her return from injury after two years on the touchlines.
"I don't even have the words [to describe how I am feeling]. If I have ever been ungrateful, Allah should forgive me because my congratulatory messages have been too many," she added.
"It is something g that motivates me to think I can still be who I was before my injury."
Mukarama will now be looking ahead to a possible participation in the CAF Women's Champions League with Hasaacas Ladies but they will first have to do well in the WAFU B qualifiers which is set for August.
