Bridgetown, Barbados — 11 November 2026
The Barbados Football Association (BFA) is advancing its commitment to the development of women’s football through the FIFA Women’s Campaign, a grassroots initiative designed to encourage greater participation among young girls and strengthen opportunities within the sport.
The two-day programme, which began on Tuesday, 10 November, combines coaching education with practical football activities aimed at introducing young participants to the fundamentals of the game.
The opening day featured coaching theory sessions, providing an opportunity to strengthen knowledge and promote effective approaches to grassroots football development.
The campaign continued on Wednesday, 11 November, with practical activities scheduled from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
More than 150 secondary school students benefitted from the initiative, which focused on developing fundamental football skills, encouraging teamwork and building confidence through participation.
The programme forms part of FIFA’s broader efforts to strengthen women’s football by supporting grassroots participation, coaching development and sustainable pathways for female players.
For Barbados, the initiative provides another opportunity to introduce young girls to organised football and encourage their continued involvement through schools, clubs and national development programmes.
The BFA recognises that expanding access to football at an early age is essential to building a stronger future for women’s football.
