The FIFA Women’s Football Campaign 2025, held at Koforidua Technical University, was a huge success, with 320 basic school girls participating. The initiative, led by Jennifer Amankwaa Sarpong, Head of Women’s Football Development, aims to promote women’s football in Ghana and create awareness among young girls.
The campaign aligns with FIFA’s vision of having 60 million girls and females involved in women’s football by 2027. The Ghana Football Association’s women’s football strategy has five pillars: grassroots football, marketing and sponsorship, talent identification, refereeing, and education.
Through this initiative, the GFA is working to empower and inspire young girls to play football, identify talented players, and develop referees. The campaign also includes a ‘Catch Them Young Referee’ initiative and provides certificates of inclusion to all participants.
The GFA’s efforts are geared towards promoting women’s football in Ghana and contributing to FIFA’s global vision. With this campaign, the GFA is taking a significant step towards achieving its goals and developing women’s football in the country.
