Bisan Abuaita reunited with her Palestinian women’s soccer teammates in May at Jordan’s Queen Alia Airport, their first meeting since the war in Gaza began. The team was headed to Dublin, Ireland, marking the first time a senior Palestinian women’s team played in Europe. Abuaita, a winger, shared the emotional moment, saying it was their only chance to meet amidst the ongoing conflict. The Palestinian women’s league, set to start on October 9, was delayed due to Hamas’ attack on Israel, which has caused mass casualties and displacement. The team found brief solace playing against Ireland’s Bohemians FC in May.
