An 18-year-old soccer player from Saudi Arabia has become the first female brand ambassador for Adidas in the country.<\/p>\n

Farah Jefry has been playing soccer for over 10 years, and has spent the last 3 with the Jeddah Eagles. Women’s soccer in Saudi Arabia is still in its infancy — the Women’s Football League (WFL) just completed its inaugural season — but Jefry is already turning heads with her speed and creativity.<\/p>\n

Despite her age, she’s been with the Eagles for three years already. Being younger than her teammates was tough, she says. But equally tough was the pressure that comes with being a female footballer in Saudi Arabia. \u201cMany people keep telling me that this sport isn\u2019t for women. However, the way I view it is that this sport isn\u2019t for a specific gender; just like any other sport, at the end of the day I\u2019m doing what I love, and I shouldn\u2019t be judged based on the fact that I am a woman.”<\/p>\n
