HER Futbol Future

forthcoming

Women and girls in grassroots football face persistent barriers - including limited career support, financial constraints, underrepresentation in leadership, and sustainability gaps in sports management. HER Futbol Future (HFF) is a transformative Erasmus+ project designed to empower girls and women in football through education, leadership development, and sustainability-driven innovation. Built on the Football-for-Learning model, HFF combines 54 football events, 18 hybrid workshops, and 18 digital micro-learning resources across four countries. These activities will provide inclusive, high-quality training on dual careers, leadership, digital skills, physical and mental health and well-being, and eco-friendly sports management. The project also delivers two key legacy resources: The Sustainable Football Toolkit (a practical guide for grassroots clubs on eco-friendly event management) and The European Handbook for Women’s Football & Inclusion (strategies to promote long-term gender equity in sports). Led by a diverse, cross-sector consortium from Slovakia, Czechia, Spain, and Serbia, HFF aligns with Erasmus+ priorities, including education through sport, inclusion and diversity, sustainability, and digital transformation. The project will directly benefit 1600+ females and sports professionals, while reaching 35,000+ online users through its innovative digital learning component. By fostering cross-border cooperation, equipping grassroots clubs with sustainable practices, and empowering the next generation of female leaders in football, HFF creates a replicable, high-impact model for inclusive and eco-conscious sports education across Europe.
