Celebrating Success: GOALS Wins UEFA Grassroots Award

We are thrilled to announce that GOALS has been honored with the prestigious UEFA Grassroots Award in the category of Best Amateur Club. This recognition is a testament to our unwavering commitment to empowering girls through sports and creating transformative change in communities across Armenia.

At GOALS, we believe in the power of sports to inspire, educate, and uplift. Since our inception, we have been dedicated to providing opportunities for young girls from underserved and underprivileged backgrounds to participate in sports and gain valuable life skills. Our programs not only promote physical activity but also foster leadership, teamwork, and resilience among participants.

Winning the UEFA Grassroots Award is a validation of our efforts and the impact we have had on the lives of thousands of girls across Armenia. It is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team, volunteers, and supporters who have helped us make a difference in the lives of so many.

One of our players, Anna, eloquently sums up the transformative power of football: "Football gave me freedom, courage, bravery, willpower, and the ability to overcome. Even if I don’t play football later, football has already changed my life."

This award is not just a recognition of past achievements but also a motivation to continue our work with renewed vigor and determination. We are grateful for the support of our community and partners who make our programs possible.

As we celebrate this milestone, we recommit ourselves to our mission of empowering girls, breaking down barriers, and creating a more inclusive and equitable society through sports. Thank you to UEFA for this incredible honor, and thank you to everyone who has supported and believed in the GOALS mission.

Together, we will continue to champion the opportunities provided to girls through sports and work towards a brighter, more inclusive future for all.

Stay tuned for more updates and exciting developments from GOALS as we embark on this next chapter of our journey.
