Ishita Godinho (Community and Women’s Development Manager, Forca Goa) said: “FC Goa and Forca Goa Foundation have always sought to not just grow the game of football but also cultivate the culture around it and use it as a tool to create a positive impact in the community. The ethos of this event goes right in line with what we aim to do. And with us looking at developing women’s football through our grassroots program and women’s team, we feel this provides us with a great platform to showcase our efforts.”
The initiative is hosted in partnership with the UNDP, EIR Soccer and Sustainable Mindz for the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. There have been 10 Global Goal World Cups across the globe so far. This is the first time that the event is being held in India.
