In the news
Radio Nederland Wereldomroep (RNW) published a fantastic article about 'My Game is Beautiful'. Click here. 
Welcome
Welcome to our blog ‘My Game is Beautiful’
‘My Game is Beautiful’ is a challenging project promoting football for youth development in
South-Asia. In two months time, we will travel by motorcycle from India to FIFA headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland. Along the way we will organize twenty football games in South Asia – India, Nepal and Pakistan – in collaboration with local NGOs. By recording the voices of unknown but talented young women in South Asia, we aim to tell the story of how football is rewriting expectations, building life skills and empowering young women to make a change in their world. We will parlay their visual, street-level petition for recognition to both FIFA and a global audience through both news media and internet. In doing so, we will present the case for FIFA's greater involvement in this important region, as well as build and strengthen our current YUWA coalition with new partners inside and outside South Asia.
Join us!
