In just 800m, Sarah Attar helped change female sport in Saudi Arabia forever. Before 2012, access to sport was limited for Saudi Arabian women.

Yesterday was filled with emotions. Optimism, Excitement, tension, shock, hopes, disappointment, acceptance, banter 😂 I watched the AFCON 23 finals with very high expectations, but they came back down very quickly 🥲 Either ways, congratulations to Cote d'Ivoire on winning the cup. They played better yesterday, and are deserving of the win. Now that we're back to work, we probably have that realization in our subconscious that we can't get to the top if we don't have the best players. Nigeria's team has some of the best players in the tournament; Nwabali, Ekong, Lookman, Osimhen, etc. and we saw their skill take us up to the finals All along, we also had obvious loopholes in the midfield and the attack, and we saw that being capitalized on as we lost the cup. Great companies are made of great talents. Starting with the CEO Great nations are made up of great leadership, great institutions, and great talents. As we ask and hope for a better Nigeria, a better Africa, you must ask yourself as a talent, what kind of talent am I? Am I like Osihmen that works to the bones to create chances? Am I like Nwabali, with skills that have saved my company severally when all the ropes were down? Or am I the midfielder that the whole team can't wait to displace for a better replacement? You are responsible for your skill level, your work ethic, your work rate, your time invested to get better.. and as such, you're responsible for your status as a great talent or not. Championships are typically won by the best teams. The best teams are made up of the best talents. Are you qualified to be recruited to that great organization you admire? Are you the best at what you do? What daily efforts are you making to get better? Photo credit: CAF Today's post is about how we can make Africa better starting by being better talents ourselves.

She’s the 1st African player, male or female, to break a transfer record, at just 23 years old. #playbookafrica Blowing the previous record set by Keira Walsh when she moved from Manchester City to Barcelona in 2022 for ￡400,000 pounds.  —> Kylian Mbappé would have been the first, had he accepted his $1.1 Billion offer from Saudi Arabia’s AlHilal FC Saudi Club. Her Story and the Numbers: • 2018 - Kundananji made her Zambia debut and scored three goals at that year's Women's Africa Cup of Nations • 2019 - transfer from Zambia's Indeni Roses to BIIK Kazygurt, the biggest women's club in Kazakhstan, earning $1500 per month plus free housing and won back-to-back league titles • 2021 - move to Liga F @SD Eibar, where she scored eight goals in 21 appearances • 2022 - Joins Madrid CFF, where she scored 33 goals in 43 games "A lot of people have encouraged me to work hard and some even said 'maybe one day you'll break some records', Kundananji shared with BBC. Her message to African girls:  “…they just need to follow their dreams and do what they love doing." 🚀Moments like these are culture-shifting for the African sports market, and I believe we'll see an increase in the search for women's football's greatest stars on the continent.
