The 2019 Women's World Cup came as a surprise to Iranians. An Iranian player was at the heart of the German defense: Sara Doorsoun-Khajeh. Born in November 1991 in Cologne, Doorsoun started playing professional football at the age of 15 when she was accepted in the German national youth team trials for new talent. She then played for the German national team in all age categories. She went to Wolfsburg in 2018 after playing for Wattenscheid, Turbine Potsdam, Bad Neuenahr and Essen. Doorsoun was playing at the highest level of professional football in the world, and Wolfsburg won the Women's Bundesliga and the DFB-Pokal cup for two consecutive seasons with her in the squad.


Today, Angel City Football Club (ACFC) announced that the club has signed German defender Sara Doorsoun to a contract through 2026.

Doorsoun joins the club from Frauen-Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt for an undisclosed transfer fee. She will occupy one of ACFC’s international spots and will be eligible to play pending receipt of her International Transfer Certificate (ITC).

“It has been my dream to play in Los Angeles,” said Doorsoun. “I came to LA when I was 14 with the U-15 German National Team and it was always on my mind to play there. I didn’t know if this team would exist and now that it does, my dream is coming true 19 years later. I promise to give it my all for the fans and the city. I am excited to play for Alex, with the whole team, and in front of the incredible fans.”

"My parents, brother, and I left Iran in 1980, shortly after the revolution. After a brief stay in Italy, we packed all our belongings once again and headed west to the exotic and the unknown: Vancouver. We had recently been accepted as landed immigrants, meaning Canada graciously opened its doors and we gratefully accepted; we arrived at Vancouver International Airport on my 10th birthday, three suitcases and one sewing machine in tow. After respectful but intense questioning at immigration, we were dropped off at a hotel on Robson Street, which was then still a couple years shy of becoming the fashionable tourist hub it is today. We were jetlagged, culture shocked, and hungry, so that first night, my father and brother courageously ventured out into the wild in search of provisions. I fell asleep before they returned. The next morning, I woke up at 5 a.m. and ravenously feasted on a cold Quarter Pounder with cheese and limp French fries that had been left by my beds...

Stacey was a nurse so Kurt knew she would be able to give him a pretty good idea of how critical it was. On the other hand her knowledge of medical jargon could make her words seem foreign to Kurt. “He’s sustained two injuries. The first one was right on impact, his brain was shaken around pretty badly. It might have even rotated and perhaps nerve fibers were stretched and veins and arteries might have torn too. The second one is an open wound where the skull broke. The brain is exposed in that area. He was probably hit by some kind of sharp object during the collision.” Stacey unsuccessfully tried to disguise a horrifying yelp that she let out. “It's possible the area around the wound is undamaged. He might be facing long-term disabilities. He’s lost a lot of blood and his blood pressure has really dropped from the trauma. He’s really weakened by the blood loss. Plus there’s the loss of oxygen to the brain. The damage may be catastrophic. And then there’s infection…” “When w...
