It is with tremendous sadness that Meadowridge AFC announces the passing of our beloved Coach Nisaa Daniels. Nisaa occupied the position of Girls' Football Coordinator. What Nisaa did for Meadowridge AFC and for girls football was tremendous. The growth and development of girls football at Meadowridge AFC set the standard for every other club to be measured by. Nisaa had a vision to see girls and woman's football reach heights never attained before. As a club we quickly recognized where Nisaa was taking our own Girls football and gave her 100% support. Nisaa was given a lot of flexibility and trust from the club to pursue her vision. During Nisaa's time at our club, the girls grew tremendously and the infrastructure that was created was unrivaled. Nisaa was a strong willed and determined person that held girls football in her arms and much like a mother with a new born baby, this is how Nisaa was with girls football. She nurtured it, cared for it and protected it. We will miss her 'can do' attitude and determination to make things happen. No words will do justice to what an immense loss this is to us all at Meadowridge AFC.
To all our players and coaches, Nisaa worked tremendously hard to see her vision to become a reality. As a club, we owe it to Nisaa to see her vision come true. This is what she fought for and this is what we owe to her to achieve. She would want nothing less of all of us.
Not only did Meadowridge AFC lose a tremendous coach, but our sport lost one of it's strongest supporters of woman's football. Our condolences to her entire family. As a club, we will support family and be there for them. She leaves behind beloved husband Yunus and two daughters, Lailah and Yusrah
All our games this weekend at home will observe a moment of silence in memory of our beloved Coach Nisaa.
We will miss you Nisaa. But we will continue what you started and our club will always honour and remember you and what you achieved.
