KARACHI:
Almira Rafique will be looking forward to become the first Pakistan female footballer to make an English Premier League debut, when she takes part in the trials for Tottenham Hotspurs on Tuesday.
The 20 year old UK based athlete represented Pakistan for the first time at South Asian Football Women’s Championship last year, winning the national women’s championship twice.
“I’m still surprised this opportunity has come my way,” Almira told a local media outlet.
“It’s been a life-long dream of mine to become a professional footballer and I’m grateful to the PFF for putting faith in me after I represented the national team.”
