"The Afghanistan team transformed me"

For a number of years up to 2020, Kelly Lindsey was Head Coach of the Afghan women's football team. Recently she's taken up a position in England with Lewes FC, the first club in the country to pay its female players exactly the same as its male players. It's no surprise that Kelly should be at such a progressive club, she's always lead by example, and as she explained, her experiences in Afghanistan were life-changing.
