Who is Canadian Footballer Quinn? Meet Transgender Star who has made history at the World Cup
Canadian midfielder Quinn made history last week as they became the first out trans and non-binary footballer to play at a World Cup.
Quinn started Canada's match against Nigeria on Friday, with the game ending in a goalless draw.
The 27-year-old played the full 90 minutes, but was unable to help the team find a breakthrough as their campaign got off to a frustrating start.

Quinn, formerly Rebecca Quinn, was born in Toronto, Canada, on August 11 1995.
Growing up with three sisters, Quinn started playing football from the age of six and it quickly became clear they had a talent for the game.
They went to Duke University where Quinn became the first Canadian to play for the Duke Blue Devils soccer team between 2013 to 2018, while majoring in biology.
Quinn is accustomed to creating history after becoming the first out trans and non-binary athlete to compete at the Olympics two years ago.
