“My name is Khadija Ahmadi, I am 20 and originally from Afghanistan. I came to Austria at the end of 2015.⠀
⠀
A year later, I heard from a supervisor in the youth accommodation where I was staying that there was an opportunity here for women to play football.⠀
⠀
This is how I came to the @kickenohnegrenzen team.⠀
⠀
I never thought about playing football in Afghanistan and Iran. When I was there, I still believed that it was a man thing.⠀
⠀
I ask myself how my life would look like if as a kid I would have known about gender equality and we would have played together with boys.⠀
⠀
Maybe life wouldn’t be so complicated, and men and women would be equally accepted. Maybe men wouldn’t laugh at me, when I talk with them about football. I’m dreaming of a world like that.⠀
⠀
Through football and my new friends, I’ve been able to find myself again.⠀
⠀
I just want to have my peace and quiet here in Austria. I had to wait two-and-a-half years for the asylum decision. I finally got a positive decision a year ago. Now I want to live independently.”⠀
