... that, born in a Palestinian refugee camp in Syria and having to flee war in this country, Heba Saadia attained her FIFA referee license in Sweden to become the first Palestinian of any gender to officiate at a World Cup?
- ALT1: ... that Heba Saadia, the first Palestinian referee at a World Cup, only took up the profession when she noticed there were no women among a group of referees she saw training?
