There is a growing interest in womens football in South Africa. After working closely together for four months on focused training and match rhythm, 4 female players from SAFA Overberg Region were invited to attend trials in Georgia and were successfully selected and signed to contracts by a professional football club in Georgia. This progress has given football associations and regions time to take stock and notice that we need to develop our women’s structures more. Clubs can plan for an increase of girls playing football and promote the women’s game, which will result in a greater pool of talent for selectors if we invest early in our young girls.IFA7 wishes the four ladies abroad much respect as we stand in awe of their talent and strength to succeed.
