The US Embassy in Ghana has brought former U.S. Women’s National Team World Cup champion Amy Griffin and former Major League Soccer defender Kofi Sarkodie to the country as part of a Sports Envoy Programme. The initiative aims to strengthen the development of female football at the grassroots level by empowering coaches with essential skills such as team culture, leadership, discipline, and communication.
The programme, which includes sessions in Tamale, Kumasi, and Accra, will engage about 50 coaches and 300 young female footballers. Amy Griffin, a World Cup champion and Executive Director of Seattle Reign Academy, emphasizes the importance of creating environments where young female players can develop as people and leaders. Kofi Sarkodie, a Ghanaian-American former professional defender, stresses the importance of character beyond the pitch.
