He added that they gave the team more fight this season by preparing for the league by playing with male instead of girls.

He said, “This is one of the best moments of my life and for Dannaz FC Ladies in general because we came last year and lost a match. We also lost a match this season. It was somehow difficult, but in the end, it was easy for us. Last season was a great loss for us because we prepared a lot.

"That was why we didn’t relent and still had to prepare. We prepared for the league this season by playing with boys and not girls to give the team more fight, and we came out today to give a good fight and gain promotion.

"We are very happy. We are going to bring in new players. The Premiership is a new experience. If we want to stay in the league, we have to get new players.”
