#women in football

Traditionally a man's arena, the football industry is now opening up to women. From referees to football clubs owners, women are influencing the game at all levels.

There is an enormous number of talented female football players across the globe. We have chosen one outstanding player from each of the six football confederations.

Qatar aims at strengthening local, regional and global unity, promoting healthier lifestyles, and increasing opportunities for all in sports, education and employment.
