One-Two: The Ball meets the World Champion USWNT

The US-American Spirit Ambassadors (the Stenger family and The Ball) met the (still) reigning world champions, the USA: The United States Women’s National Soccer Team (USWNT) and its world famous stars like Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgen. With their signatures on The Ball, they have made a promise for supporting more gender equality.

Megan Rapinoe, who has been voted the world’s best player several times, is not only a true role model thanks to her outstanding sporting achievements, but also through her commitment to gender equality, diversity and acceptance on and off the football pitch.

She represents goals and values that are also championed by The Ball 2023, which was produced fairly in Kenya by our partner Alive and Kicking. The Ball is travelling to the FIFA Women’s World Cup for the first time ever. Spirit of Football is also advocating for the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The USWNT’s statement of suport helps us focus on SDG No.5: “Gender Equality”. We will be sharing this statement to inspire young women to play the game they love and we hope to meet the USWNT again at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand in July and August.
