Women's Football Gets FIFA Relief

The association recently received its share of US$500, 000 (approximately P5.7 million) women football grant from the world governing body.

The money is for women’s football relief and development. FIFA made the announcement in July that it had taken a decision to assist all its member associations with grants and loans to help survive following the setback suffered from the COVID-19 pandemic. In the announcement, FIFA said through the grants, there will US$500, 000 set aside which will directly go into women’s football in each member association. The grant is set to boost the financial deficiencies suffered by women’s football in the country for years. The women’s Football league has been struggling to attract sponsors over the years, causing a huge burden on the clubs to stay afloat.
