FIFA Women’s Football Campaign in Eastern Bhutan

The first-ever FIFA Women’s Football Campaign in Eastern Bhutan achieved significant success in Mongar, drawing an encouraging participation of 80 girls aged 6 to 16 for a two-day program designed to introduce them to the sport in an inclusive and empowering environment.

The campaign structure, which began with an energetic Zumba warm-up followed by foundational drills like ball control and passing on Day 1, and concluded with fun matches and a certificate ceremony on Day 2 was highly effective, ultimately building confidence and interest in football among young players. This meaningful step towards creating a positive environment for girls’ participation was seamlessly executed thanks to the crucial support provided by 6 SSI volunteers and 5 Dessups.
