Girls from over 30 nationalities joined together on their floodlit 4G pitch and put their skills to the test.
Doha: Doha College, one of the oldest international schools in the country, recently hosted a girls’ only football tournament, with participants from its own sporting academy Evolution Sports Qatar (EVO), as well as PSG Academy and Lusail Football Club. Girls from over 30 nationalities joined together on their floodlit 4G pitch and put their skills to the test.
Rosie Todd, EVO’s new Girls’ Soccer Co-ordinator, shared her first impressions of the opportunities for girls to be involved in football: “I didn’t really know what to expect when I arrived in Qatar a few months ago. The first time I saw the girls playing, I could tell that there was a fantastic foundation built up by EVO since the club started in 2007. With the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 still to come and inspire thousands more, this can only keep growing and growing, and this is a positive impact we can make on the future of girls’ football.”
