Despite being young, Alotaibi is already making waves on the football field. She has imitated Manchester City player Erling Haaland's "yoga meditation" goal celebration, and she has a unique posture in which she forms the letter "M" with her palms.
For now, Alotaibi is focused on her career with Al-Yamamah and the Saudi national team, but she is open to considering a move to other clubs in the future. Her ultimate goal is to become the best player in the league and win the World Cup with the Saudi national team in the next decade.
