The Football 4 Girls programme is gaining momentum in the Tumu–Sissala East Municipality, where more than 400 schoolgirls have already benefited from the nationwide grassroots initiative.
Led by the GFA Technical Directorate in collaboration with the Ghana Education Service, the project is designed to broaden access to football and give young girls the platform to develop their skills from an early age.
The launch gathered several key stakeholders, including Municipal GES Director Charles Lewil, members of his team, head teachers, local sports coordinators, and representatives of the Upper West RFA.
Officials outlined the main goals of the initiative, stressing the need to uncover emerging talent in basic schools, build confidence among young girls, and eliminate barriers that limit participation in sports.
Participants were taken through various physical drills and interactive sessions to help them understand the wider purpose of the programme.
The girls also received an introduction to the pillars of the GFA Women’s Football Strategy, aimed at motivating them to see football as both a passion and a potential career path.
This collaboration between the GFA and GES forms part of a broader national effort to strengthen girls’ football and support the long-term growth of women’s football across Ghana.
