Top Muslim Footballers Stunning WAGs

Unlike typical footballers’ wives, Muslim footballers WAGs usually stay away from any form of social media and doesn't sit for interviews. Down are some of the top stunning wags of Muslim footballers.

We always see the performances of football players on the pitch, but we know little about what happens behind the scenes. These well-known football players receive great support from their wives and life partners, which plays a major role in their success.

However, some high-profile football spouses and partners who use any form of social media are not afraid of risking their husband’s reputation and ruining their career.

First, let’s have a brief review of the term WAGs (or wags), which is an acronym used to refer to wives and girlfriends of high-profile sportspersons. The term and its use has been described as demeaning to women and sexist.

It was first used by the British tabloid press to refer to the wives and girlfriends of high-profile footballers, originally the England national football team.

The term came into common use during the 2006 FIFA World Cup, although it had been used occasionally before that.

The acronym has since been used by the media in other countries to describe the female partners of sportspeople in general.

Some people criticized the term as sexist and stated that it could be offensive, as it was often used to demean women; however, others have reflected this view.

The followings are out of the spotlight Muslim footballers WAGs:
