Jackie Bachteler / Sweden
@JackieBachteler (TW) / @jbachteler (IG) / Jackie Bachteler (FB).
As a professional coach (UEFA A Coach) and a professional player within this beautiful game I have witnessed so many inspiring moments and have had the pleasure to meet so many inspiring people. These moments I have witnessed are in the midsts of inequality that the women’s soccer coach and player experiences daily; many without complaint but with gratitude.
I find the feeling of “you’re not alone” is a powerful one and can give you the courage to take the actions needed to take a stand or make the change you see. I want to highlight inspiring women working everyday towards a goal and dream and together educate each other to reduce inequality at the highest of levels.

Under the Eastern Flames brand, Maram has given over 600 females (both youth and adults), the opportunity to play competitive sports through clinics, tournaments, and leagues, in both Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.
For Maram, football has not only given her many moments of joy, for herself, her team and for her children; all of which has provided her with the motivation and passion needed to empower others, especially women, through a love of football, whilst facilitating a health and lifestyle change in her native society.
Maram continues pushing a message close to her heart, the global awareness of female athletes in Saudi Arabia; as well as seeking to lead, coach and assist many future generations of Women football players.
