THE WORLD, HER PITCH
Empowering the next generation of female leaders, on and off the pitch
About Us
We’re not teaching her to play — we’re helping her see how the game can lead to a future.
We are a social-impact movement powered by Brila Media, created to empower young girls across Africa, starting in Nigeria by exposing them to creative, professional, and leadership opportunities within the football industry.
At FGA, we believe every girl deserves the chance to shine , not just as an athlete, but as a producer, a designer, a storyteller, a medic, a strategist, and a leader. Our mission is to educate, equip, and inspire girls aged 12–18 in underserved communities through immersive workshops that spotlight the many career paths connected to the world of sports.
FGA is more than a project , it’s a platform for potential, a safe space to grow, and a vibrant network where girls are seen, heard, and celebrated.
The World, Her Pitch
At Brila Media, we’ve seen it firsthand: the global sports industry is booming — now worth over $500 billion 💼 . Yet women still hold just 7% of leadership roles . And in Africa? The gap is even wider. We’ve listened to the girls. We know the passion is there — but the pathways to real careers in football are still limited.
But we also see what’s possible.
That’s why we launched Football for Girls Africa (FGA) 🌍 — to empower young girls to see themselves in every part of the game. Just like our convener and CEO of Brila FM(Nigeria’s leading sports radio station), Debbie Larry-Izamoje. We are proving that women can lead in sports media and inspire future generations to follow suit.
Our Vision
A thriving future where every African girl owns her power, her passion, and her path. Leading boldly within the football industry and shaping its future from every angle.
The world. Her pitch.
