The Banyana Banyana star has signed with the Saudi club, marking the next chapter in her professional career after a spell in Spain’s top women’s division.
Magaia, a versatile and experienced forward, has been a key figure for the South African national team over several years. She has represented her country at major tournaments and is widely regarded as one of the most consistent performers in the Banyana Banyana squad.
Her move to Al Ittihad Ladies continues the growing trend of African talent heading to the Saudi Women’s Premier League, as clubs in the Kingdom continue to invest in experienced international players to strengthen their squads.
The forward arrives from Deportivo La Coruña, where she featured in Liga F. Prior to her time in Spain, Magaia had gained valuable experience in other leagues, including stints in Mexico and Sweden, building a well-rounded career across different football environments.
Al Ittihad Ladies will look to Magaia’s goal-scoring ability, work rate and international experience as they continue their campaign in the Saudi top flight. For the player, the move offers a new challenge and the opportunity to compete in a rapidly developing league.
The transfer has been confirmed as official, with Magaia now set to link up with her new teammates and begin preparations for the next phase of the season.
South African fans will be watching closely as one of their most recognisable women’s football stars embarks on her Saudi adventure.
