Training programs and field initiatives for girls The cooperation includes organizing specialized workshops and training courses in technical and administrative fields, in addition to holding football festivals targeting girls, with the aim of creating a safe and encouraging environment to practice the sport.

These initiatives also aim to enhance self-confidence, teamwork, and leadership skills among participants, positively contributing to the development of women’s sports in Jordan.

A new step toward empowering women in sports This agreement reflects a clear vision led by His Royal Highness Prince Ali bin Al Hussein, aimed at supporting and empowering women in sports and opening new opportunities for girls to play football and contribute to its development.

The partnership is expected to bring a qualitative shift in Jordanian women’s football by building an integrated system based on qualification, development, and sustainability.
