Where did this all begin?
Once upon a time in a beach in North Goa, Aliga Praia, the beach football league for girls began, in the pandemic, with schools and pitches closed, girls and boys came out to the beach to play.
Under the purple monsoon clouds, fun footballers decided to make make a film, Goal Goa, about how the great game could get us out of this and into a new world where we could design and deliver differently to girls.
Goal Goa aired on national TV in India and on BT Sport in the UK, and so while we went global, we came back home to make our promise come true of teaching football at school for girls, inspired by what we knew of beach football we took the great game to wide open spaces in Goa, Mumbai and Bengaluru, at school, for girls.
