Changing Perceptions of Women's Football
The perception of women's football in Morocco has transformed significantly, with more young girls embracing the sport. Teenage players like Imane have overcome initial skepticism and discrimination, where being a girl playing football meant facing doubts about their abilities. As Imane's skills improved and she became better than her male peers, she contributed to changing attitudes, leading to increased acceptance of girls in the sport. Now, it's common to see young girls playing football in streets and parks, a stark contrast to the situation two decades ago when such visibility was almost nonexistent.
