Becoming a Legend

Becoming a Legend tells the story of Emirati sportsperson Houriya Al Taheri's relentless fight for women's football in the Middle East.

Houriya seeks to share the truth about breaking through barriers and doing what it takes to achieve your dreams, particularly as a woman in a male-dominated industry. She chronicles her journey and describes the challenges she faced pursuing her dreams in a traditional culture where women playing sports is regularly inhibited. Houriya’s story is a testament to her own life’s philosophy – you can achieve anything, but to do so you must first change your own thinking.
