In many ethnic minorities in Vietnam, boys enjoy more social and cultural opportunities than girls, who are expected to grow up to be wives and mothers. Girls therefore tend to be less educated, forced into early marriage and denied the chance to develop in other areas of life.
Project goals
- Raise awareness of gender equality among ethnic minorities by fostering equal participation of women and girls in football and life skills education
- Empower and equip girls and women in an additional two provinces by offering leadership training based on the Football for All in Vietnam model that has been funded by the UEFA Foundation for Children in Ha Giang province since 2022
Project content
The 138 football clubs in Ha Giang, Quang Tri, Cao Bang and Can Tho provinces that were funded by the UEFA Foundation for Children between 2022 and 2024 will be given additional football equipment and continued support, and new clubs created, with:
- football coaching courses at 41 new football clubs in Quang Tri and Cao Bang provinces;
- training courses for female life skills instructors at each new club;
- climate change education at the clubs in Cao Bang and Ha Giang provinces in the far north of the country;
- regular football and life skill activities at all 138 existing clubs; and
- 118 ‘Fun Football Festivals’ at the existing clubs.
The project will also be extended to another two provinces, with:
- a feasibility study in each province;
- the creation of 30 new football clubs, with football coaching and life skills training courses at each club;
- 30 ‘Fun Football Festivals’ (one per club);and
- two provincial ‘Fun Football Festivals’ (one per province).
