The World at My Feet

How Football Gave Me Freedom
Find the power within yourself, with the help of the incredible true story of the co-founder and captain of the Afghani football women's football team, Khalida Popal.

Find the power within yourself, with the help of the incredible true story of the co-founder and captain of the Afghani football women's football team, Khalida Popal.

Imagine if playing football was a danger to your life. Imagine if you weren't allowed to kick a ball, to run around, just you, the ball and your teammates.

Khalida Popal was the first captain and co-founder of the Afghanistan women's football team, part of the brave group of young women who stood up to the Taliban and showed the world how girls and women can play football and follow their dreams.

Along with the story of how Khalida and her teammates fought to play football, Khalida will show young readers how to find their power - on and off the pitch - how to have fun with their team and to be person you want to be.

From turning your dreams into real plans, finding your voice, being a powerful teammate and feeling the freedom of taking that first free kick, this incredible book will teach girls everywhere - whether they're football-mad or not - how to be themselves. From a girl, and a team, who simply wanted to play football together.
