Girls and Women’s Month is an initiative running alongside our federations through the month of March. Designed to introduce girls and women to the beautiful game across Aotearoa New Zealand. With the recent impact of the FIFA Women’s World Cup, now is the time to keep that momentum going.

Girls & Women’s month was established to shine the spotlight on girls and women in football and grow female participation at the grassroots level. Girls & Women’s month provides football stakeholders with a platform to spark discussions around gender equality and to amplify new and existing female specific programs and events to ensure we remove the barriers to entry for women and girls. Initiatives designed to ensure they increase and retain female players, administrators, coaches, referees and fans.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Our federations run a number of exciting events for girls and women across the country in March and continue to promote female-only events throughout the year.
