| About Africa on the Move: Africa is often associated with war and destruction, poverty and disease, but this series tells inspiring stories of courage, creativity and achievement. These are positive stories of Africans who have changed their lives and impacted those around them through entrepreneurship and education. |
Sahar El-Hawary recruits and coaches female football players and referees in Egypt's popular but male-dominated world of sport. She is the first women's referee in North Africa and also the first female member of the Egyptian Football Federation.
She grew up in a football-mad family, with a well-known referee for a father and footballers for brothers. She refused to sit on the sidelines.
El-Hawary was determined to break down the wall that tradition and religion had built up against women's sport and to set up the first women's football team in the Arab world. Patiently, she opened the doors of a world reserved for men, changing the life of women in the region.
She has put women's football on the map - not just in her native Egypt but across the entire Arab world.
"Women's football is important, not only to make the ladies or the girls play the game, but also it's changing the social structure of the country, of the society."
