Marta Vieira da Silva became a football hero in Brazil during the 2016 Olympics in Rio, where she captained the women's team.

But in the country where football is a major passion, women are fighting for their place in the game.

They do not fit everyone's idea of what a footballer is, and have to battle sexism.

The BBC's 100 Women season speaks to Marta and hears her message for other female footballers.
