Yemeni activists circulated on social media pictures of a group of girls while they were present at the inauguration event of the Real Madrid Fans Association in the capital, Sanaa.

These photos sparked widespread interest and positive feedback, as many activists pointed out that it was the first time that female sports fans had been publicly announced in Yemen.

Activists expressed their optimism about this step, stressing that it may be the beginning of a larger number of female fans joining the Real Madrid League in the coming days.

They explained that this step reflects a positive change in Yemeni society towards encouraging women to participate in sports and community activities.

Real Madrid fans had inaugurated their association in Sanaa two days ago, in a ceremony attended by many fans of the royal club.

During the ceremony, the start of the association’s activities and its future plans to support the Spanish team and enhance the culture of sports encouragement in Yemen were announced.

This initiative was widely welcomed by sports fans in Yemen, who praised the efforts made to establish such links that contribute to spreading the sports spirit and enhancing cohesion among fans.

They also stressed the importance of supporting Yemeni women and enabling them to participate in various fields, including sports.

On the other hand, many people criticized the establishment of the association in light of the difficult conditions that Yemen is experiencing.

They indicated that current priorities should be directed towards improving living conditions and providing basic needs for citizens. Critics expressed concern that such activities would divert attention from the country's more important and pressing issues.

Despite these criticisms, some hope that such initiatives will contribute to strengthening the national spirit and unifying ranks among Yemenis through sports and cultural activities that unite them in their love of international sports teams.

It is expected that women's sports activity in Yemen will witness remarkable development during the coming period, in light of the increasing interest in women's participation in sporting events, whether at the level of encouragement or competition.
