Dafina Taher

Towering over the touchline with relentless energy, this reserved Yemeni wing-back transforms her past childhood trauma of being left behind by a departing caravan into a fuel for explosive speed and surgical tackles. She glides effortlessly past opponents to lock down the flank, though she notoriously struggles to win a single header despite her height. Her clinical defensive intuition and unstoppable motor turn her into an elite, albeit quiet, force on the pitch.
