Football NSW Female Football Week
Football NSW is proud to announce the 2014 Female Football Week set to commence on the 3rd of May where various programs and promotions to support women in football will take shape for course of the week.
From Coaching Courses and School programs to Referees courses and football clinics, the week will be dedicated to females and their opportunities within Football.
Female Football Week is a great opportunity to celebrate the opportunities available for female participants to experience our great game from all different viewpoints as Football NSW Game Development Manager Hayley Todd pointed out.
“Female football opportunities are continuously growing and FNSW are proud to support and acknowledge all females in our sport.
“With the Westfield Matildas set to defend their AFC Women’s Asian Cup title from the 14th – 25th May in Vietnam, there is no better time to celebrate and highlight the success of female football in NSW.”
