Football is NOT just a man's sport! Girls play Football Too! Women like Louisa Necib and Megan Rapinoe continue to serve as inspiration to all those girls & women who aspire to become professional footballers. 

Ahead of the EUROS (The UEFA European Football Championship) we set out to find some mon éclat Queens who play or have played footie in the past and love the game as much or more than their male friends!

Ylenia Grech

Meet Ylenia Grech who has played footie for 7 years and currently plays for Malta's U19 Team.

Ylenia plays in the central midfielder/winger position and loves football because it helps her to stay active and express her feelings whenever she's stressed or down.

She describes playing football as this great feeling of satisfaction that has helped to shape her character both on and off the pitch. Rather than a distraction, she sees it as a necessary break from her academic studies that helps her feel refuelled and reenergised to continue studying and persevering.
