SKIES Las Palmas, a Bulawayo-based soccer academy has offered scholarship packages to four young girls from Dete-based Young Sables Soccer Academy who are at Makwandara Secondary School.
The move cemented relations between the two parties.
“This is a great partnership that will unlock a lot of opportunities for the girl child living in the rural areas,” said Young Sables Academy director Tawanda Zazu.
Skies Las Palmas, as part of this partnership will provide mentorship to Young Sables Soccer Academy.
“This is a big step in ensuring that our academy’s objective of providing social support and availing assistance is achieved, since we are a newly established academy having such support will be a big boost which is very vital.”
At a time when women’s football seems to be neglected, Zazu emphasised the need for more of such initiatives to grow women football.
