Women playing and working in football across Asia star in AFC’s campaign

Kuala Lumpur: The “It’s My Game” campaign by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) continues this week with new videos highlighting exceptional women playing football and working in the game across the Continent. The campaign celebrates women’s contribution to Asian football and emphasises their varied roles within it, illustrating football as a career option for women and girls.

The series of new videos features women’s football stars from different parts of Asia who play at the top of the game internationally, such as Korea Republic international Ji So-yun who plays as a midfielder for Chelsea FC Women in the FA Women’s Super League in England. In addition, the campaign highlights powerful stories by women who have carved a profession in football against all obstacles.

The first country from West Asia to host the AFC Women’s Asian Cup earlier this year, Jordan, is represented by national team forward Stephanie Al Naber who plays for Shabab Al Ordon Club and midfielder Shahnaz Jebreen whose club is Amman SC.
