The interest in women's/girls football has grown in recent years, thanks to the sterling performance of all-female teams at international tournaments. The American National women's team this year even won a lawsuit to get equal pay with the men's team.

Here in Kenya, the women's national team- Harambee starlets- continues to show consistent growth and attract a significant number for key games. Girl's football however, struggles to attain the prestige and support their male counterparts receive.

AirFC wants to remedy this with their football academy in Nairobi exclusively for girls ages 4-18. The Femeni football programme will run on weekends and girls will train under the supervision of UEFA approved coaches.

Registration is open till July 15th. Email info@airfc.com for more details.
