About this episode

Hi Guys, Afshan here,

You’ve probably listened to our FIFA special episode with UAE National Football Team player and Adidas athlete Areej Al Hammadi last week. And if you haven’t, click through to EP39: ⚽⚽⚽ and FIFA Women's World Cup: UAE National Team football player and Adidas athlete Areej Al Hammadi on the changing face of women's football in the region and globally to hear about how she carved her own path in this sport, and her insights on the ongoing Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

And here’s the fun spill over BONUS from that episode where we asked her some rapid fire questions because we wanted to get to the bottom of her quirky side.

We hope you enjoy!
