In Poland, women make up only 6.7% of football players, only 1 of the 12 top-tier women’s clubs has a female manager and only 166 of the over 6,000 clubs have girls' teams.
At the same time, women’s football is more popular than ever thanks to the historic qualification of Poland's women's national team for UEFA Women’s EURO 2025. Coach Nina Patalon and captain Ewa Pajor became national heroes, and some two million viewers in the country tuned in to watch the tournament.
Project goals
Continue the legacy of UEFA Women’s EURO 2025, using football3 as a bridge between schools and women's football clubs.
Specific goals:
- Boost girls' participation in football by connecting schools with women’s clubs through football3
- Empower female teachers to serve as football3 leaders and role models to foster inclusion and fun for girls
