The crew will consist of players, a referee, and a coach; the supervisor is Princess Madawi bint Abdulaziz, as she is a football player.

Signing a partnership

Princess Madawi bint Abdulaziz, a member of the Board of Directors of the Association, stated:

“When the idea was put forward and the partnership signed with the Al-Yamamah Women’s Team to start its work next September, we were surprised by the arrival of five girls with disabilities who expressed their desire to join a football team for women with disabilities.

I invite talented and creative girls to join the team and pursue their ambitions. We have creative people in drawing, music, and arts; for sure, we also have some innovators in football.”

Girls are encouraged to register by contacting the association’s accounts through social media on Instagram or Twitter or sending their data directly via https://forms.gle/cRWJn4HYx4d1WRx77.
