The donation was made at the George Weah Technical Center in Careysburg, where the team is currently camping. Making the presentation on Wednesday, Mr. Urey said it is amazing to see young girls together to better themselves, instead of abusing drugs or alcohol.

He praised and congratulated the team for eliminating Senegal to advance to the next round of the qualifiers and wished them all the best in their upcoming match

At the same time, the President of Shiata Angels Benita Urey pledged an additional $1,000 United States dollars as a winning bonus for the first leg scheduled for 9 June 2024 at the SKD Sports Complex.
