Her Right to Play (2025)

In the wake of the ban on women's football in 2014, the national team in Pakistan faced an uncertain and turbulent period. Despite immense cultural barriers, these determined players had fought for their place both on and off the field. The ban disrupted their progress, pushing players to seek alternative income sources and abandon their dreams. After 8 long years, in 2020, FIFA's intervention led to the formation of a normalisation committee, marking a fresh start for the team. Her Right to Play follows the journey of these athletes to the Olympic qualifiers. Fraught with intense training, struggling with injuries and with a desire to prove themselves, the story follows the women’s grit and determination in service of the sport and the flag.
