Meeting with Aya Khateeb, Palestinian international
The level of Palestinian women's football:

"The level of Palestinian women's football is always trying to reach a higher rank, not only the Palestinian federation and experienced coaches are working on it. As a result, players are always looking for progress, although there are many obstacles in all directions, especially the Israeli occupation. The Palestinian clubs and the Palestinian national team in particular are in progress and are competing with the Arab countries, also with many European countries, who are gaining a lot of experience through many friendlies and tournaments ".

The opinion of the population on this sport:
"The views are different, we are faced with a lot of reluctance from half of the people and others kindly watching us on TV. The presence of a president who is able to eliminate the bad thinking about women's football and the harassment we are experiencing, is what gives our players the desire to continue to develop our sport and be ready to win a lot of tournaments ".

Championship organization:
"Women's football is organized by the Palestinian Federation, which supports the participating teams of the league and provides equipment for each of them. The league is organized once a year and sometimes twice.

Aya's ambitions as a football player:
"My ambitions were to play as a professional player abroad, and I did it and it was a great success for me. Also with the help of my family, the community, and especially the institution "Alrawabi" who supported me in many things, and had a great impact in my success. And the ambition now is to be one of the supporters of the Palestinian team at the World Cup for the years to come, also to see one of the players of the Arab countries, become one of the best players of the world. I wish that the Palestinian team where any other Arab team day will one day reach the high level in women's football "

Do you think that one day Palestinian women's football will be recognized?
"Football has no borders, it does not know poverty, and it does not stop at barriers of occupation or financial obstacles. It is a sophisticated language and it develops more between generations. And Palestinian women's football especially from my point of view can reach the whole world and an international reputation, and because of the support of FIFA and the presence of a federation that is able to develop the generations but able to create close ties between him and other countries. He does not stand up to obstacles. The visit of FC Barcelona and the national women's team of Japan show that there is no obstacle. We will visit them one day, there are no obstacles between us and the world! World, we are coming
