From the mountains to medinas, desert sands to city streets, the game is more than a sport, it’s a way of life, building communities. The game holds no boundary’s, they play it anywhere using makeshift goal posts set up on cracked mountain dirt, abandoned construction sites, or the narrow streets of the Medina. Passion drives the play, not possessions, their shoes are often an afterthought. What matters most is the ball at their feet.
