Football 4 Girls Programme Empowers Over 400 Young Players in Tumu-Sissala East

The Football 4 Girls initiative has made a significant impact in the Tumu-Sissala East Municipality, reaching over 400 girls across basic schools. The programme forms part of ongoing efforts to promote grassroots girls’ football in Ghana.

Spearheaded by the GFA Technical Directorate in partnership with the Ghana Education Service (GES), the initiative aims to broaden access, inspire participation, and nurture young female talent at the foundational level.

The launch brought together key stakeholders, including Municipal GES Director Charles Lewil and his team, Upper West RFA Division Two League Board Chairman Mr. Asamoah, the Municipal Physical Education and Sports Coordinator, headteachers, teachers, and members of the local media.

Organisers highlighted the core objectives of the Football 4 Girls project. Chief among these is the mission to identify hidden talent in basic schools, build confidence among young girls, and encourage them to pursue football without barriers.

Participants engaged in physical drills and interactive learning sessions to better understand the initiative’s vision. They were also introduced to key components of the GFA Women’s Football Strategy, designed to inspire, empower, and guide the girls toward viewing football as both a passion and a potential professional career.

The collaboration between the GFA and GES seeks to strengthen the development of women’s football across the municipality and aligns with the broader national agenda to elevate girls’ and women’s football throughout Ghana.
