Zehra Badem

Germany

Zehra shares her story on playing football
and the struggles she had to overcome.

“When I first told my parents about wanting to sign up for a football club they were against it.”

“Or rather, they didn’t really care about it because they thought that football wasn’t something for girls.”

“The ball was more important than a Barbie doll for me.”

“So that’s the point I realised that football was everything to me.”

“I love football, because
it gives me confidence.”
