The Vision behind GirlsInFootball

Our Mission:
Provide a safe space for all girls from all backgrounds to do what they love without having to worry about anything.

No girl should feel bad for wanting to play football.

many girls get bullied by their peer boys for playing football, we provide a safe space where this idea does not exist and is not tolerated. We normalize football as a sport that’s created to be enjoyed by everyone. We embrace girls who play it , nurture them, and prioritize them.

No girl should worry about being able to play.

many girls worry about the financial burdens that arise from joining football academies especially given the economic status of different families from different backgrounds. This idea does not exist in GirlsInFootball , everyone here is equal regardless of their background, no girl should worry about monthly subscriptions , her energy and passion are more than enough :))

Why are we doing this / Who is behind this?

My name is Aya El Bokhary. I’ve been a football player for as long as I can remember. I have played with different Lebanese clubs in the 1st Division Lebanese Women’s League and I’ve also participated with the National Team in multiple international tournaments. Unfortunately I never had the opportunity to experience growing up doing the thing I love with this much ease , so my goal is to provide to girls who love this sport what i never had, but wished I did. I’ve taken necessary Sports for Development training to be able to do this and I’m equipped with the right certificates that allow me to merge this societal aspect as part of the football trainings.
