our
ambassadors
PlayOnside is proud to work together with several professional football personalities. These role-models have shown through their amazing careers how football can be a tool for social change, and now they are willing to use their position to promote the work of PlayOnside.
Our first Ambassador is a goalkeeper of the of the
Spain National Paralympic Team.
The emphasis PlayOnside puts on promoting Gender Equality through sport, challenging stereotypes regarding girl's abilities, is wonderful work. I have personally faced a lot of obstacles to be where I am today, and to empower the girls, is the most important thing we can do. I am proud to be a PlayOnside ambassador.
Through the PlayOnside Program, the children learn about teamwork. That is important to improve communication skills, increase their social skills, and self confidence. To be able to support this amazing program, is truly a great honor.
PlayOnside is promoting integration through football across social and structural boundaries. Football has the power to create friendship, to enhance teamwork and to facilitate for dialogue between communities. This is important for me, and it makes me very happy to be a PlayOnside ambassador.
By working with local youth and giving them valuable experience as football coaches and role models within their own local communities, PlayOnside has proven to be successful for the long term. This approach is essential to create long-term sustainability. This is for me important as an ambassador.
