Empowering Women in Football: United World Academy’s Collaboration with WTO and FIFA
United World Academy’s commitment to empowering women in football reached new heights with their participation in the “Making trade score for women” event, organized by the World Trade Organization (WTO) and FIFA. This prestigious gathering celebrated women’s contributions to sports, trade, and development. Representing United World, Her Royal Highness Princess Reem Bint Abdullah Bin Mossad participated the event, marking another successful milestone in their collaboration with the International Trade Centre (@internationaltradecentre) for the Sports For Development (#S4D) initiative.
The event witnessed an impressive gathering of influential stakeholders in women’s football, including the esteemed FIFA President, Gianni Infantino, and renowned FIFA legend, Didier Drogba. Their presence further underscored the significance of the occasion and the dedication to advancing the role of women in sports.
One of the highlights of the event was the grand unveiling of the FIFA Women’s World Cup trophy, symbolizing the pinnacle of achievement in women’s football. The presence of the prestigious trophy served as a powerful reminder of the incredible talent, dedication, and determination of female athletes worldwide.
For United World Academy, this event presented a remarkable opportunity to reinforce their ongoing efforts in empowering women in football. Through collaboration with the WTO and FIFA, United World Academy aims to drive positive change, promote gender equality, and create more opportunities for women in the sport. The success of the Sports For Development initiative and its involvement in this event demonstrates United World Academy’s commitment to fostering sustainable development through sports.
The “Making trade score for women” event also served as a platform for United World Academy to showcase their upcoming projects in collaboration with the WTO and FIFA, and especially in the C4 cotton industry (Burkina Faso, Benin, Chad, and Mali) to increase their participation in the global soccer apparel value chains.
