A.M.A.R - THE ISLAMIC GIRLS OF RUGBY

The girls of the all-female AMAR rugby team come from different social backgrounds and face many obstacles imposed by family and society to pursue their sporting passion. For these girls, rugby is a declaration of independence. Each game is about much more than beating the other team; the real, ultimate victory is regaining self-confidence, personal freedom and a leading role in Islamic society.
