25 Quotes About Female Friendship To Remind You That You Are Not Alone

 

What could have been a regular football match on a soccer field in Jordan turned into a beautiful display of sisterhood when players halted the match temporarily to allow an opponent to fix her hijab.

 

During a match between the Arab Orthodox Club and Shabab al-Ordon Club earlier this month at the WAFF Women’s Club Championship, a player’s hijab began to slip from her head. Almost instinctively, the opponent team players huddled around her to provide cover while she fixed it.
