On November 18, KAUST was visited by Miraas Team, one of Jeddah’s best women’s football squads, for a series of friendly games against a representative TKS Sharks team and KAUST’s Magpies Women’s Football Club. Miraas had been selected as one of six Jeddah teams to participate in the next edition of the Saudi Women’s Regional Football League. Therefore, they were looking to get a competitive experience before their campaign on November 22nd.

After six very competitive football games were played, Miraas emerged as winners with 7 points, narrowly ahead of TKS Sharks on 6 points, while Magpies B and Magpies A finished third and fourth respectively. Sharks goal scorers included Aella Tsorpatzidi (G11), Pearl Wright (G11), Yara Albatran (G10), and Judy Masry (G9), while keeper Rital Alali (G9) had two shutouts in goal.
