The Palestinian women’s football team’s first home game was more than just a match. It was a major triumph even before the kick off whistle was blown, given the restrictions place on the team. Palestinian women playing soccer on home turf, getting involved in a “man’s sport”, and the Israeli partitions that left the team with nowhere to practice except a handball court at Bethlehem university are all challenges that these brave women overcame They played their first match against the Jordan women’s team to a crowd of over 10.000. This in itself was a goal for all Palestinian women.
