Beach Soccer World Wide’s women’s beach soccer development program has been awarded the Universo Mujer seal, which will allow the creation synergies with the Spanish Football Association (RFEF) in order to develop women’s beach soccer growth plan in the country, and increase the already-impressive talent on the Spanish beach soccer stage.
The program included measures and plans like economical support to athletes, the promotion of women’s beach soccer events in Spain or training camps and clinics for young beach soccer players, amongst many other initiatives.
Universo Mujer is a program created by the Consejo Superior de Deportes (Spain’s Government Sports National Bureau) which targets the support and promotion of the participation of women in all areas of sport, with the aim of improving the social transformation through the values in sport.
