A football team of women in Liverpool 8 who are mostly asylum seekers or have been granted refugee status are bonding through the power of sport.
Set up in 2018 by Comfort Etim, they were originally Refugee Women Connect, a support service who Comfort works for, but due to lack of funding they had to stop. They became Comfort Angels after she approached the County FA and then received funding from Amnesty International's Football Welcome scheme.
Comfort previously played professional football in Nigeria before coming to the UK. She later secured a place in the Tottenham Hotspur women's team, fell in love, had two children and moved to Liverpool in 2008.
