The project
TARGET, supported by four National Football Federations, UEFA, and other partners, aims to combat gender inequalities using youth football players as advocates. The initiative focuses on coach training to promote gender equality within teams, integrating STEM and self-efficacy. A communication campaign, featuring influential role models, will amplify the message across the EU, making TARGET a pioneering effort to address societal gender disparities through the popularity of football.
The objectives
The main aim of TARGET is to promote gender equality within and beyond youth football teams. This is to be achieved by:
- Educating youth football players about gender equality
- Providing coaches with skills to promote gender equality among female and male youth football players
