GOALS Launches GOALS Girls Hour on International Women’s Day 2026 Empowering Young Female Footballers Through Free Weekly Sessions and Mini-Tournaments

GOALS is officially celebrating International Women’s Day (IWD) 2026 by launching Girls GOALS Hour, a pioneering initiative giving girls aged 16 and under the chance to play football completely free every Saturday from 2-3pm at any GOALS pitch across the UK.

The launch at GOALS Wembley coincides with the IWD campaign theme “Give To Gain”, which champions gender equality through collective action, mentorship and accessible opportunities.

The GOALS IWD event will feature mini-tournaments with local school and club teams (girls only), creating a space for young players to develop skills, compete, and enjoy the game.
