Women's football knows no boundaries, and Abu Dhabi is one of many countries working hard to promote the female side of the sport. Their aim is to create structures which will encourage more girls and women in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to play football.
This ambitious vision was at the heart of the two-day International Women’s Sport Conference held on 11 and 12 April 2012 in the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi. The event was based around the themes of "Sport, health and happiness" and enabled a number of experts, who had flown in especially, to analyse the social and technical challenges to the international development of women's sports.
On behalf of the DFB, Stefanie Schulte was on hand to present key data on the success story that is German women's football, and she described in particular detail the significance of the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup as a platform for the sustainable development of young players.
"Thanks to the campaigns that were carried out in the run-up to the Women's World Cup, including Team 2011, Children's Dreams and Green Goal, we managed to make a genuine contribution to the further development of girls' and women's football," said Schulte. "It was very important for us to provide ideal conditions for the fans and the participating nations to set new standards internationally."
The DFB signed a Memorandum of Understanding in June 2009 and thus became one of the strategic partners of the UAE national football association. Amongst other aspects, this agreement covers cooperation in the fields of training coaches and officials, media and marketing, and youth development.
