Grow the game, get more girls involved, keep more women in the game and drive empowerment of women
One of FIFA’s key strategic objectives is to see all our member associations with their own comprehensive women’s football strategies. The goals are to grow the game, get more girls involved in it earlier, keep more women in the game longer, and drive the empowerment of women and the societal benefits of football.
This programme is designed to support associations in developing these new strategies, or revising and improving existing strategies in a tailor-made approach.
With the implementation of this programme, FIFA aims to meet the following objectives:
Clear plan/strategy
Ensure that every member association has a clear plan/strategy in place for the development and growth of women’s football.
Enhance the state of play
Enhance the state of the women’s game in all member associations by establishing targeted objectives with concrete actions to achieve those goals.
Build the Foundations
Help each member association to map its women’s football ecosystem and determine its vision for the future of the game in the country.
Who can apply?
To eligible you need a dedicated person in the member association responsible for women’s football and the implementation of the project, with clarity on where the project sits within the MA.
How to apply?
All applicants need to submit an application form, together with documents confirming that they meet the criteria.
Women will play a significant role in shaping and developing the future of football.
