The game also enhances feelings of belonging and togetherness, as well as feelings of striving this is the main purpose of the football game for both young women and men with intellectual developmental and neurological disability.

The Theme for 2022 International women’s day: “BREAK THE BIAS”
Let us break the bias on the stereotypical lifestyle of persons with disabilities.

Society should look away from the stiffness of their muscles that would not permit them to play football but rather focus on their abilities on the field. Football coaching and training is an inclusive and another area of using sport for therapy to improve cognitive intelligence, decision-making, problem-solving, and leadership.

We call on people to work towards a world that is equitable, inclusive, and free from bias, and discrimination, so the playing field is leveled for women/girls moving forward. We have always been putting women and girls at the center of our planning and actions to integrate gender perspectives into global and national laws/policies.
