A woman impresses World Cup fans with her football freestyle skills in Doha, Qatar.

Female football freestyle star Maymi Asgari, 23, said she was first inspired when she watched Brazil star, Ronaldinho, on television at the 2010 tournament in South Africa.

She is now one of the stars herself after being invited to perform at the sporting event in the Middle East. Fans have also been recording videos of her as she does keepy-uppy in the streets around the stadium.

Footage shows a supporter joining her.

Maymi said: "I met this nice guy who wanted to show his skills, so I had to show mine too".

She added: "In 2010 I was watching Ronaldinho from home in the World Cup. Twelve years later I get invited to the World Cup in Qatar to show off my own skills. I have been lucky enough to be allowed to participate in the World Cup draw that took place in Qatar. Besides the event itself, I have been to the Al Bayt stadium, where I also got to do a few tricks. We were also down for a football tournament, where I saw, among other things, the legends Casillas, Kaka, Roberto Carlos, Andre Pirlo and many more".
