This support will go a long way to develop grassroot Women’s football and to give a lot of our young girls a channel to express themselves socially through football”.
“Football is indeed a great tool for social inclusion for a lot of our girls at the grassroot and as such the importance of this equipment support from the FAI and UEFA Assist can not be over emphasised” said Prosper Harrison Addo (Esq).
