In football, there are players whose influence goes beyond goals and assists — players who dictate rhythm, provide balance, and quietly drive a team forward. For Ladystrikers FC, Asana Hamidu has become exactly that presence: a tireless midfielder whose intelligence, work rate, and composure continue to shape the team’s performances in the 2025/2026 season.
Midfield Control and Tactical Intelligence
Asana Hamidu operates primarily in midfield, where her understanding of space and timing has made her one of Ladystrikers FC’s most reliable performers. Whether shielding the backline, breaking up opposition play, or initiating attacking transitions, Hamidu consistently delivers with maturity and discipline.
Her ability to read the game allows Ladystrikers to remain compact defensively while still progressing the ball effectively. She rarely wastes possession, choosing intelligent passes that maintain team structure — a key reason the side has grown more organized as the season progresses.
Matchday 6 Recognition: MVP and League-Wide Honour
Hamidu’s growing importance was on full display during Matchday 6 of the Malta Guinness Women’s Premier League, where Ladystrikers FC earned a hard-fought 1–1 away draw against Army Ladies FC.
In a physically demanding contest, Hamidu stood out with her ball recoveries, interceptions, and calm presence under pressure. Her performance earned her the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award — a reflection of her impact across all phases of play.
Beyond the club level, her performance also received league-wide recognition as she was named among Ramanatu Tahiru’s WPL Top 11 Players of the Week, further underlining her growing reputation within Ghana women’s football.
Consistency That Defines the Season
While goals often dominate headlines, Hamidu’s contribution lies in consistency. Match after match, she sets the tempo, offers defensive cover, and supports attacking movements with smart positioning. Her fitness and stamina allow her to maintain high intensity throughout games, particularly in away fixtures where resilience is required.
As Ladystrikers FC push forward in both the Women’s Premier League and the FA Cup, Hamidu’s role remains central to the team’s ambitions. Her presence in midfield gives the team stability, confidence, and tactical flexibility.
Leadership Through Performance
Though not always the loudest voice on the pitch, Hamidu leads through action. Younger players look to her positioning and decision-making, while teammates trust her to manage difficult moments in games. This leadership through performance has made her one of the most dependable figures in the squad.
With Ladystrikers FC climbing to 6th place on the league table and showing clear signs of progress, Asana Hamidu’s form will be crucial in maintaining momentum. If her current performances are any indication, more standout displays — and accolades — are likely to follow.
For Ladystrikers supporters, Asana Hamidu represents the heartbeat of the team: disciplined, resilient, and relentlessly committed to the badge.
