2019

January 2019 

Annet came up with the idea of sending a girls' football team to Norway Cup and aired the idea with the rest of us. We were excited about the idea and we had our first meeting under a mango tree in January. This was the start of establishing the project in the rural village of Nyawa.

March 2019 

The project team travelled to Nyawa for the first time to have football tryouts for girls born between 2004 and 2006. We also arranged a session to appoint the coach. After the football tryouts, a team of ten girls were chosen, as well as a local coach.

We started the process of applying for birth certificates for all the ten girls, in order to get passports.
