The Women’s Soccer Exchange Program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State Office of Citizen Exchanges through the U.S. Sports Diplomacy division.
From March 1 – March 8, 2023, World Learning is bringing us all together, leaders in #womenssoccer , #sportsmedicine , #athletementalhealth & #mentalperformance , and #sportsentrepreneurship to Amman, Jordan.
“The purpose of this exchange is to build lasting connections meant to support the development of women’s soccer and its symbolic and practical impact on #womensrights and #sportsentrepreneurship.
This exchange aims to promote increased recognition and support for women’s soccer, an effort that has significance and impact not only in Jordan, but regionally and globally.”
A majority of the programming will be held at the Jordan Olympic Preparation Center and the Jordan Football Association Auditorium at Sports City-Amman.
Humbled by the opportunity to visit the Al-Azraq Refugee Camp, where programming will be arranged by the Asian Football Development Program. We will also be in Madaba, at Prince Hashem Youth City, where we will participate in interactive sports activities with youth and their families.
