Princess Hayac and Co. to take on Chelsea!
Royal princess Haya al-Hussein, the half-sister of King Abdallah II of Jordan, will skipper the first Pan-Arabic women's team in a one-off match against the women's team of English Premiership side Chelsea.
The match has been pencilled in for February 5 in Dubai and is the brainchild of the soccer-mad princess who has already made a name for herself by representing Jordan in horseriding at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney.

Her love of football is well known and the princess openly encourages the sport in Jordan, where she has also recently announced the forming of the first women's national football team.
