Assistant referee Heba Saadiyeh discusses making history at the Women’s World Cup.

Heba was born to a Palestinian family and grew up in a Syrian refugee camp. She and her family left Syria when the civil war broke out.

Since then, they’ve lived in Malaysia and now resides in Sweden. Heba told World Football's Mani Djazmi about her journey from refugee camp to officiating at the biggest stage in women's football.
