VISA KIZLAR SAHADA FOOTBALL SCHOOLS

Sponsored by Visa, this is Kızlar Sahada’s free football and social development program for girls aged 9-14 who are socioeconomically disadvantaged, in the youth programs of women’s football teams in 9 cities across all 7 regions of Turkey.

At Visa Kızlar Sahada Football Schools, it is believed that alongside child development, it is also important to improve the ecosystem surrounding the children. For this reason, club managers, trainers, families, and volunteers are involved in training programs on psychosocial development and capacity-building training prepared with the expertise and vision of Kızlar Sahada.

Here is the view of the women's football clubs worked with in the programme:
