GWR Day: November 17-18, 2020
EPF partnered with our friends at Guinness World Records for #GWRDay on November 18! To celebrate, we decided to help one of our own, Deena Rahman from Bahrain, break a World Record for the “Most Penalties Taken in 24 Hours”. We livestreamed the event, chatted with some special guests on YouTube, and amplified the fight of female athletes worldwide.
About Deena:
Deena is a world-class coach and athlete, who runs Tekkers Academy in Bahrain. A former England and Fulham youth player, Deena now plays for the Bahrain National team. She has put her football skills to great use as a coach at her academy, where they coach over 600 students including 200 girls. Deena has participated in all of Equal Playing Field’s records since our beginning! Check out our Q&A on the blog!
