Moroccan Prodigy Shines in La Liga
In a remarkable display of talent and skill, 15-year-old Maissa Baha has etched her name into the annals of Spanish football history. The young Moroccan international achieved the milestone of becoming the youngest player ever to score in the Spanish women's league during a match where FC Barcelona faced Logroño. This historic event took place on September 26, 2026, when Baha netted the opening goal just 17 minutes into the game. She expertly connected with a corner delivered by Caroline Graham Hansen, executing a perfect header that set the tone for a dominant performance by the Catalan team.
Barcelona ultimately secured a convincing 2-0 victory, with Patricia Guijarro adding a second goal in the 71st minute, which propelled the team to the top of the league standings, surpassing their rivals Real Madrid. Baha's goal is not just a personal achievement but a significant contribution to her team's success as they strive for supremacy in the league.
A Promising Future Ahead
Maissa Baha's ascent to fame is no coincidence; she comes from a family steeped in football tradition. Her father, Nabil Baha, was a former Morocco international, and her brother, Ziad Baha, currently plays for Olympique Marseille's under-19 squad. This familial connection to the sport undoubtedly provides a solid foundation and inspiration for her burgeoning career. Over the summer, Baha trained with Barcelona's first team as part of her preparation for the new season, showcasing her potential to compete at the highest levels of the sport. Her first goal in La Liga not only highlights her exceptional skills but also signals the arrival of a new star in women's football.
