Setra Habibzadeh, the former player of Iran's women's soccer team and the 36-year-old head coach of Oud Horley Louvain of Belgium, spoke in a detailed interview to the Goal website about the limitations of his childhood, the difficult immigration from Iran and his long journey to reach the European Women's Champions League. Habibzadeh, who is currently one of the five head coaches present in the league stage of this competition, said about her childhood interest in soccer: "Iran is a difficult country for women. It was not normal for me to play football with boys in the street. I used to cut my hair so people would think I was a boy." He added: "If someone had told me at that time that one day I would coach in the European Champions League, I would have laughed and said, don't laugh, such a thing is not possible at all." Habibzadeh signed her first professional contract at the age of 17, and after playing in Milan and for a team in Shiraz, wore the shirt of the Iranian women's team 21 times. But at the age of 23 he decided to leave Iran. She went to the Netherlands hoping for better conditions for women's soccer, but what she saw in Europe was different from her expectations.
