Players in Sudan
Salma Abdelaziz — Sudan
In Sudan, women footballers face relentless online abuse, bullying, and even death
threats for daring to play the sport they love.
This report follows players like Zahra “Wargo” Mohammed Azraq, targeted with sexist
and demeaning insults after competing in
the country’s first women’s league. It shows
how social pressure, family pressure, and
a deeply conservative society force many
women out of the game.
