CELEBRATING WOMEN & GIRLS IN FOOTBALL
Please submit details of your club’s Female Football Week event or activations below to gain additional exposure and support.
Female Football Week will run from Friday, 3 May to Sunday, 12 May, with the aim of capitalising on the success and momentum of the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™, and acknowledging the contributions of women and girls across the football community.
In 2024, FFW is being celebrated in conjunction with ‘Our Game’ which aims to cultivate a community of energised and passionate beliefs to confidently and unapologetically create the future of Women’s Football.
A key initiative for the week of celebration, FQ’s Women’s Football Round will kick off the weekend of Friday, 3 May and wrapping up on Sunday, 12 May, coinciding with Mother’s Day and delivering memorable moments across the state.
Clubs across Queensland are encouraged to get involved in Female Football Week by running their own activations and events such as club barbeques, mentor programs, come and try days and more.
