To strengthen women’s football during the World Cup, StarScout carried out a social project aimed exclusively at women, which aims to give visibility to the segment. The action had the support of the bookmaker, Betsson.
StarScout embarked on a journey across Brazil, looking for talent who want to play football professionally.
The contest involved 16 young girls, aged between 18 and 25, who will be able to work professionally, with the guarantee of a contract, salary, agency, moving costs, adaptation to the new language, as well as housing and the opportunity to change their lives.
The championship final took place last Saturday, the 15th, at Arena Barueri, and received scouts from Brazilian clubs to observe the sporting evolution of the girls.
Betsson Ambassador, Zé Roberto participated in the initiative
To celebrate the participants and this social initiative, former professional player Zé Roberto, global ambassador for Betsson, welcomed the girls for a personalized training session.
“We are immensely happy to be able to support a project of extreme importance”, said Andre Gelfi, Managing Partner of Betsson.
“Many of these young women are unable to fully dedicate themselves to training due to the need for a second income, since women’s football still does not have the same recognition as men’s”.
“Our goal is to offer opportunities for all of them, encouraging more and more women’s sports”, added Gelfi.
All sports equipment used during the program will be donated to the Playlife do Vidigal project in Rio de Janeiro.
In addition, evaluated athletes will still have the opportunity to take home all the performance data collected, in addition to future videos and souvenir photos.
Project will be turned into a documentary
The action will turn into a reality documentary with episodes of 30 minutes each, available from October to the public, on YouTube and on the Woohoo platform, a pay-TV action sports channel.
