- Strong is... Jawahir Roble
In this video, Jawahir talks openly about how she became the UK’s first female Muslim referee. Her love for football started in her home country of Somalia where she would play on the beach every weekend, but when the civil war broke out, she and her family had to flee as quick as they could.
She came to London to seek refuge and has grown up round the corner from Wembley Stadium. She found it difficult to make friends when she first arrived, but soon found common ground with people through her love of football. Her parents didn’t want her to play the game and instead steered her on a journey to study finance at university, but she kept playing in secret and found an opportunity in refereeing, which she describes as ‘having the best seat in the house’ during games.
Now, she’s one of the most decorated female referees in the country and has won so many accolades for her charity work and passion for encouraging more Muslim women to play sport.

Glad Jawahir could find the strength to share her story with us..May she keep inspiring all of us.
From now onwards you are one of my inspirations as a symbol of strength and passion❤️ Ma Sha Allah, Jazak Allah Khair 🥺❤️
What do you mean, Ma'am?
@sara ben I doubt my dad can explain what you mean. My mom's a nurse in the army, a major. She serves in a mostly male dominated environment too. The world and society we live in, is mostly patriarchal and hence male dominated in most cases.
What an inspiration 💜⚽️
❤️❤️❤️
what a strong person 💪
