Amy Gillingham, a 29-year-old British woman who moved to the United Arab Emirates five years ago, recently spent 10 minutes in a car wash not only winning a great job opportunity, but also "making history".

Gillingham, a former British professional footballer, took a job as a physical education teacher in a public school in the United Arab Emirates five years ago and settled there.

One day, while she was waiting for the car wash, she played football with some children and the car wash staff, and a man approached, and Gillingham chatted with her about football for 10 minutes. The man revealed that he was working in a TV station and wanted to offer a job as a football commentator for Gillingham. Gillingham readily agreed. Three months later, she became the first female football commentator in the history of the United Arab Emirates.

Gillingham, who loves football, said that if she can do anything related to football, it is a "dream come true".

Gillingham revealed that she was invited to comment on the Super Cup final a few weeks ago, and she successfully completed the task and signed with the UAE Pro League as a match commentator.

Gillingham, who has played football with her brother since she was a child, said: "I have always been involved in football, from the very beginning of playing football to being a coach. From the very beginning, football has never been separated from me."
