FIRDOSE MOONDA is a sports journalist and writer whose main role is as the Senior Correspondent for Africa and women’s cricket at Cricinfo but her first published stories were about football. While studying her Journalism Honours degree, Firdose covered the university’s football team, Bidvest Wits, who were in South Africa’s Premier League. She went on to report on the 2010 Football World Cup but with a packed sporting calendar, eventually had cricket chosen for her. She returned to football writing in 2023, inspired by the Women’s World Cup. Firdose is interested in sport as a socio-cultural phenomenon and her stories often come from beyond the boundary. Her writing portfolio includes short stories published in Karavan Press anthologies and chapters in academic books and journals. When she is not writing, Firdose is a yoga scholar and teacher trainer.
