Nadia Salah

This Libyan winger torches the flanks with explosive speed and dazzling close control, though she sometimes lets her flamboyant flair override tactical discipline. Before every kickoff, her teammates look on in bewilderment as she obsessively buffs her shin guards with honey to attract good luck. It is a bizarre ritual, but her sheer brilliance on the pitch ensures no one dares question her methods for long.
