Convener of SheFootball Initiatives and former Nigeria International, Ayisat Yusuf-Aromire says the motive of her SheFootball Initiatives was to empower girls, educate, and nurture them to become international stars.<\/p>\n
The FIFPro award winner said this on the side of the 2023 SheFootball Conference on Friday in Lagos.<\/p>\n
“For me, I don’t want to focus solely on government. The government doesn’t have to do everything. Stakeholders and individuals can start from somewhere. On the other end, I found out that Nigeria has lots of talents but because there was motivation, support, or encouragement being the reason why they are just wasting around. This was why I have in my foundation SheFootball Initiatives.” She told pressmen at the conference.<\/p>\n
Knowing the benefits of women’s footballers playing abroad, Ayisat Yusuf-Aromire Foundation is set to impact lives through football.<\/p>\n
She said: “The motive and the goal is for me to empower girls, educate, nurture, and also try to create an academy very soon whereby I will want to leverage them from playing the domestic league to playing abroad because I have some connections with some clubs abroad.<\/p>\n
“That was the reason why I brought Christiana Osodi from the United Kingdom. She has UEFA A-License. I am also a coach abroad and know the benefits and opportunities for female footballers to play abroad. This is the reason why I started this foundation because I want to help and encourage them.”<\/p>\n
This year’s SheFootball Conference was attended by football stakeholders with the aim of motivating girls to better their careers via football.<\/p>\n
She added: “Being a role model isn’t enough if you aren’t having an impact in their life. That’s the reason why I founded this foundation to help these girls and make them have a better life in the future.”<\/p>\n
As part of the conference, eight teams on Saturday will for honour in the first edition of the She Football Initiative Tournament, a vain child of Ayisat Yusuf-Aromire Foundation which will kick off on January 7, 2023, at Legacy Pitch, National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos State, Nigeria.<\/p>\n
