Jama was not alongside Lehmann for that success, having previously attended the Baller League Draft, but will be on the sidelines for a second outing in the six-a-side competition on March 31. MVPs United are set to get the action underway when facing M7 FC.
WHAT MAYA JAMA SAID
It remains to be seen whether Jama brings tactical inspiration to the touchline, but she has already vowed to deliver “nothing but vibes”. She will certainly be an energetic presence at the Copper Box Arena. The 30-year-old has posted on social media: “I will be there todayyy. Manager mode unlocked.”

Lehmann, who bid farewell to the WSL in 2024 when completing a move to Juventus alongside Brazilian boyfriend Douglas Luiz, will also be present for the second round of fixtures in Baller League UK. She will offer expertise alongside Jama, who may have picked up a few tips from Premier League and Champions League title winner Dias.
