Early life

Majri was born in Monastir, Tunisia and moved to France at the age of 1 alongside her twin sister, Rachida, and her mother, Hafsia. They settled in Vénissieux in the residential area of Minguettes, located in the suburbs of Lyon. She returns to Tunisia every summer.[5]

She began playing football in Tunisia at the age of 4 with her uncle. She perfected her technique using tennis balls and spent her summers on the beaches of Tunisia playing beach football. In France, she played five-a-side pick up games with boys in her neighbourhood until the age of 12, and at school. Upon seeing her play in the schoolyard, her primary school teacher insisted that she join a club, something Majri was initially against. Eventually, she joined l'AS Minguettes where she was the only girl on her team. Two years later, she was recruited by Olympique Lyonnais aged 14.[6]

Personal life

Majri is a Muslim. She became married in 2012.[7]
