Waziristan ‘football girl’ stunned the internet with her viral picture

Known as Asma Hafiz, the girl hails from a village of Waziristan.

While giving interview to local , Asma said that there is no school for girls beyond primary in her village.

She wants to become a doctor, but will have to leave the boys' school after the sixth grade.

“There is no school for girls in our village where I can get education after primary. I am presently studying in third grade but I won't be able to get further education as this school is for boys only after middle. I request government to build a school for girls only in our area so that we can continue seeking education,” she said.

According to Asma’s school principal, the photo, which became popular on social media, was taken in December last year when school children competed in a football match.

Soon after her picture went viral, people took to social media to utter praise and compliments.
