Tunisian football10 Feb 2006
Women taking up the beautiful game

Later today is the final of the African Cup of Nations at the Cairo International Stadium, which is being played between Ivory Coast and Egypt. Football has never been more popular in Africa . It's the way to earn stardom and fortune - at least if you're a man. But in the North African country of Tunisia women are now taking up the beautiful game. They may not be the only female Islamic footballers but they have one distinct advantage. The Tunisian male team is the current holder of the prestigious Africa Nations Cup.

Sylvia Smith reports on how the country's women are learning how to score.
