GENRE Essay
The exceptional journey of a fiercely dedicated mother who successfully guided her three sons to international careers.

Yeo Moriba has devoted her entire life to soccer. At her first match of Conakry's celebrated Hafia Football Club in the early '80s, she soon formed dreams of her own. Why couldn’t she play football, too? As the captain of one of Guinea’s first women’s football teams, she won a string of matches before political instability forced her to flee the capital‒an end to a golden era. After her marriage, a new life fraught with obstacles awaited her in the Paris suburbs. But Yeo held steady, instilling in Florentin, Mathias, and Paul her unstinting passion for the game, which led them to France's victory at the 2018 World Cup.
