Noura Taha

This flamboyant Moroccan center-back hunts down attackers with unparalleled aggression and lightning speed, though she occasionally lets her zeal lead to avoidable fouls. Before kickoff, she demands that every teammate rub her left shin guard with a dried apricot, a ritual that has the squad sighing in habit while still indulging her quirk. Her defensive brilliance is so absolute that nobody dares to complain when the dreaded fruit appears.
