Globally we are supporting seventeen Team Visa players; get to know Lucy Bronze, Nadia Nadim, Kim Little, and Nikita Parris in the films below.
Being told she “couldn’t” only made Lucy Bronze more determined to show that she could. She's had to fight every step of the way to make it to where she is today and carries that same spirit with her every time she steps onto the pitch.
Nadia Nadim has seen the powerful effects of football first hand. When the Afghanistan-born striker found herself in a refugee camp on the other side of the world at the age of 10, she couldn’t have imagined the path she’d go on to forge for herself. Nadim is living proof of what can be achieved in even the most difficult circumstances.
From having a laugh playing football with her dad and brother in the park, to becoming a professional footballer - it’s fair to say that Kim Little has had a big journey to the top. Kim had full support from her family to pursue football, there have been many problems for her to tackle in her past but these have served to only make her stronger.
From growing up in one of Liverpool's toughest areas, Nikita Parris has made it to the summit of the women's game. But she hasn't forgotten where she's come from, and is giving back to the place it all began while forging her own path.
