  This study seeks to explore how female football player and clubs in Saudi Arabia and Qatar are engaging with social change and subverting existing gender norms. Football is the most popular sport in both countries, and the football field is one where power plays out, where power are exhorted, negotiated and subverted. The Qatari government has prioritized sport as part of their national development since the start of the century, and football in particular has been utilized as a policy tool. In 2010, the same year as Qatar’s successful bid for the 2022 World Cup a national women’s football team was established, but due to conservative social norms players have been hard to recruit. Instead, female university students has built their own teams and league. Refusing to accept football as a male domain, they are negotiating norms to enable themselves to play. By using the universities as safe spaces, and keeping the games gender segregated, they manage to bypass social sanctions in their search for a positive freedom to play football. In Saudi Arabia, the formal situation has been somewhat different. As of 2018 there were no authorized official female football clubs or leagues. Still, women have been playing football in the Kingdom since 2007. Away from the spotlight, women have built a strong organization of multiple football teams. They have pushed their agenda of women’s football and sought to create awareness in the society for more then ten years, while simultaneously keeping a low profile to avoid scrutiny from the religious police and other conservative figures. Now, engaging with recent reforms, the structures and skill set developed through years of hard work is being appreciated. Through the examples of the Riyadh Women’s Football League and Qatar Women’s University Football Cup, I show how women are actively engaged in shaping their societies. They are not passive and submissive, but rather on different levels engaging with power structures influencing their lives as young women. Hence, this study goes beyond false dichotomies in how we think about submission and subversion.
