Officials of Soccer for Dreamers, GFA with the beneficiary clubs
Soccer for Dreamers in partnership with Ghana Football Association (GFA) has donated football and menstrual kits to some clubs in the country.
The beneficiaries were Agenda FC – Shai Hills, Fiakonya FC- Somanya, Abonya, Young Believers – Dodowa and D-Shooters FC – Odumase, all male clubs.
The female teams, all from Greater Accra, who received the menstrual kits were Teshie Constant Ladies, G.R.A Ladies, Halifax Queens, Immigration Ladies and Sissamba Ladies.
Asanteman FC, a male disability football club which comprises national team stars also had their share.
There were lectures on the integrity of the game of football by Obed Tuffuor of the GFA Foundation, and how to use the menstrual cup which was distributed to the girls by Mrs. Sylvia Akwaboah, President of Soccer for Dreamers.
She said this year is the third in succession since the initiative began in 2022, and the beneficiaries are five women’s teams from the Greater Accra Region, four male teams from the Eastern Region and one disability team from Kumasi.
Since its inception, the partnership has educated female footballers on menstrual hygiene and, at every event, distributed menstrual cups to support and help the players.
Nike branded water bottles, Redbulls T-shirts, Redbulls Leipzig jerseys and jackets donated by New York Redbulls Academy were distributed to the players.
“Soccer for Dreamers is an inclusive organisation. We started by making sure women’s football was not left out, then combating menstrual poverty. We gave to skate soccer players last year, so when we realised there was a need with the amputee football team, it was a no brainer. We wanted to help where we could, and we are happy we have been able to do just that,” said Mrs. Akwaboah.
Soccer for Dreamers is an initiative by three brothers – Baruch, Jed and Kayden Akwaboah – who play school soccer in the USA.
