ORANJESTAD (DA) — The Aruban Football Association names Hassnah Elhage as manager of Aruba’s women’s national team, turning to a Curaçao-linked sports management graduate as it pushes to strengthen the future of women’s soccer on the island.
The key move is the hire itself: AVB says Elhage will lead the women’s program as it looks to keep building the women’s game in Aruba, betting on her leadership to drive development.
In its announcement, the federation says Elhage holds a master’s degree in sports management from the Johan Cruyff Institute, and it describes her as a familiar face in the football world in Curaçao — a regional connection that puts the spotlight on how talent and expertise move across the Dutch Caribbean.
The AVB frames the appointment as part of a broader effort to grow women’s soccer, expressing confidence that Elhage’s leadership will contribute to the sport’s development in Aruba.
The federation closes by wishing success to Elhage and the full staff as the program moves forward.
