A selection of talented Under 14 female soccer players from Barwon Heads, Ocean Grove and Bannockburn Soccer Clubs have been invited to form a team and compete in an international youth tournament in Singapore this November.
Set to host more than 3500 rising soccer stars from around the globe, the eight day SingaCup 2025 tournament will be a showcase of the next generation of elite footballers.
For these young players, it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to represent their region, and club, on an international stage.
But before they can step onto the pitch, they need a champion off it.
The team is currently seeking a major sponsor for support with tournament expenses. Sponsorship would ensure every girl gets the chance to play regardless of financial barriers.
“This is more than soccer,” Under 14 team coach Mark Smith said.
“This is a chance to show our girls what is possible if they commit to sport, work as a team and focus on a goal.
“Girls that remain in sport are more likely to become leaders, have enhanced self-esteem, better physical and mental health and greater confidence. This is what we want for our girls. We’ve got the girls, now we need help to get them there.”
This is an opportunity for a business to be in the spotlight with the next generation of sporting talent, promote female participation in sport, and gain exposure locally and internationally.
With female sport on the rise in Australia and around the world, this team is proud to be part of the movement inspiring girls to stay in sport longer, push their limits, and thrive on and off the field, Smith said.
