TRAINING WITH MEN
At the end of 2016 her club, Ibtissama, was dissolved, and as a result she began training with a men's club team in Algeria. "The only women's wheelchair basketball club in Oran [Algeria] was dissolved. All the girls therefore found themselves without a club and forced to stay at home. For my part, since I am an international player, I could not remain without a club, and in the absence of women's teams, I had to integrate with the men of the Abtal Temouchent club to be able to maintain my form. This was also the case for my international teammate Yamina Ghoul, who joined the Oussoud Wahrane men's team. I was nervous at first but I was quickly adopted and put in the best possible conditions, thanks in particular to very respectful players." (planetesport.dz, 21 Mar 2020)
