Pioneering gender equality on the pitch: Arusha Dream FC launches dedicated training sessions and leadership mentorship for young female footballers.
In a major step toward expanding female participation in Tanzanian sports, Arusha Dream Football Centre has officially inaugurated its specialized Girls' and Women's Football Development Programme.
Led by Women's Football Lead Coach Neema Mwangi, the program provides female athletes with safe training grounds, dedicated coaching schedules, and access to the same high-caliber equipment and tournament opportunities provided across the academy.
For too long, girls in grassroots communities have faced cultural hesitation and a severe lack of dedicated female sports programs,' explained Coach Neema. 'Here at Arusha Dream FC, our girls learn that they are strong, capable, and deserving of every opportunity to compete and lead.'
The program includes football technique, physical fitness, life skills workshops, and peer mentorship. Friendly matches against neighboring regional youth clubs are scheduled for the coming weeks.
