THE SAME GAME, JUST WITH LEGGINGS 💫 Wearing leggings when I play is something I get asked about a lot. For me, it started as a way to feel more comfortable & confident on the pitch. As a muslim, modesty is a personal journey, & wearing leggings was one step that felt right.

Last year I posted this and it went viral… a year later and I have officially signed @LaylaBanaras as our first international female footballer 🤯 We will guide her on and off the pitch, ranging from contractual negotiations to performance analysis… Please Welcome Layla!

LAYLA BANARAS!!! What a finish! 😍 A great ball to Chelsea Ferguson by Paula Howells. Chelsea fights for it, cuts it back to Sydney Schreimaier who plays it on to Layla. A shot from outside the box and it slots into the bottom corner! LFC 3-1 HUFC #COYR🔴⚫

There are stereotypes around South Asian women being oppressed, passive and not having a voice. glamourmagazine.co.uk/articl…

South Asian women are underrepresented in British sport. Meet the women pushing for change

These women are pushing boundaries in sport.
