More about Fútbol Sin Fronteras
Walk down the streets of Granada, Nicaragua and you would never guess that 10 years ago it was unheard of for girls to play soccer. Through soccer, academic support, educational workshops support, leadership development, an earned equipment system, and school and university scholarships, our program gives girls in Granada the social, educational, and economic support they need to overcome obstacles to success and achieve their personal goals. Meanwhile, they are changing norms and breaking cultural barriers- shedding assumptions about what girls can and can't achieve.
