IN SHORT

Passionate about football, Sheikha Hussa bint Khalid Al Khalifa helped establish the Bahrain Women’s National Football Team and the country’s women’s league, paving the way for hundreds of girls and women to follow their passion for sport. Today, she advises Bahrainis to follow their passions and achieve great results not just for themselves but for their country. “You have to have the passion,” she says, “but you also need to do the work.”
