Recognizing her potential, the organizers allowed her to join the boy’s league, setting the foundation for her football journey.
With over nine years of experience in the sports management field, Ismail has honed her skills across the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom. Her extensive expertise in various aspects of sports management will undoubtedly prove invaluable in her role as the women’s team assistant coach.
