According to their own statements, Mbenga's family played a key role in building up the Red Scorpions association.

Career

Mbenga started playing soccer with the Red Scorpions when she was eight and played for the club for many years. She was supported in this by her parents, especially her father.

In 2006 she was part of the first Gambian national soccer team for women , which, however, did not play a game recognized by the world association FIFA.

From 2006 she became more involved as a coach than a player. In October / November 2007 she took part in a training course for women with Mariama Sowe in Johannesburg (South Africa). At the end of 2007 she was commissioned with Mariama Sowea and Bubacarr Jallow (also: Buba Jallow) to put together a Gambian national soccer team of women . From 2009 she was there again as a trainer assistant. Since autumn 2010 at the latest, she has also been co-trainer in the U-17 selection of the women's national team .

Around 2009 she was co-trainer with the Red Scorpions, at the latest from the end of 2011 trainer. In 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2018 her team won the championship title.

From summer 2014 to April 2015, she was the women's football representative of the Gambia Football Federation and did not coach the Red Scorpions this season. She was succeeded in this position by Sainey Sissohore in August 2015 .

From 2016 she worked as a trainer with the Red Scorpions again, but from May 2016 was not allowed to act as a trainer for the 2016/2017 season because she was excluded after a decision by the GFF for insulting the referee team. Afterwards she continued her trainer job.
