From “kiddy clinic” at three years old to being one of the youngest members of the Palestinian senior national team, Emily Ibrahim was all in on one sport — soccer.

The first time Ibrahim, 18, played in Palestine was 2018, when the Palestinian American Athletic Organization invited her to join a team of U.S. citizens traveling to play against Palestinian club teams. There, she and a few of her teammates caught the attention of Amer Khair — head coach of the Palestinian women’s national team.
