The Washington Spirit announced a two-year deal with Ugandan defender Shadia Nankya on Thursday.
The contract, following an undisclosed transfer fee to Egypt’s FC Masar, includes team options in 2027 and 2028.
“Shadia has shown great potential throughout her young professional career in Egypt,” Spirit general manager Mark Krikorian said. “We expect her to be an important contributor to the Spirit throughout her tenure at the club.”
Nankya, 24, scored three goals and contributed to 19 clean sheets in 27 starts at FC Masar. She made her debut with the Ugandan national team in 2021.
