Alima Moro (born 5 February 1983)[1] is a Ghanaian footballer who plays as a goalkeeper.[2]

Club career[edit]

Moro started her soccer career in Bolgatanga-based Bolga Ghatel.[3] In 2005, she left her home country, Ghana, to work in the Ghanaian embassy in Rome, Italy.[4] Moro continued her career in the Serie C at Lighi.[5] After just one season, she moved to Serie B side Marostica.[6] In autumn 2007, she moved to Vicenza.[1] There, Moro became a top performer,[1] which got her a contract in Serie A at Trevignano in 2012.[7] In Serie A, after a strong first season, she did not go beyond the reserve roles and returned to Serie C at the start of the 2013–14 season, playing for Laghi.[8]

Having played for Udinese, Moro signed for Serie A side Tavagnacco for the 2018–19 season,[9] as a third-choice goalkeeper.[10]

International career[edit]

Moro played for the Ghana women's national team,[11] between 2011 and 2013.[8] She was excluded from the national team in 2013 after accusing the former coach, A. K. Edusei, of corruption.[12] Moro claimed in an interview with a Ghanaian daily that some of the national team players had their place.[13] In December 2013, she returned to the national team.[14][15]

Awards[edit]

In the 2011–12 season, she was voted the best African footballer in Italy.[16] On 23 October 2013 she was awarded the Ghana-Italy Excellence Awards in Brescia.[17] In addition, she was awarded the best goalkeeper by the Ghana Football Association.[18]

Futsal[edit]

In addition to her football career, she played futsal for Fontanafredda Futsal Club Caffé dae Tose in Italy for two years.[1]
