AFC Empowering Women in Football Programme (AEWFP)
AEWFP Programme Overview
The AFC Empowering Women in Football Programme (AEWFP) is a pioneering initiative that explores the diverse roles of women in football both on and off the pitch, from history and business strategy to advocacy, brand transformation and executive leadership.
The programme guides participants through theoretical perspectives, hands-on activities, real case studies and examples that will help graduates make decisions that can increase inclusivity, diversity and integrity, as well as boost the influence of women in football and its global development in an increasingly competitive and evolving landscape.
The AEWFP is focused on leaders in the AFC’s MAs, RAs and all other football stakeholders.
The main objective of the programme is to ensure that graduates are fully equipped with the fundamental knowledge and skills that help them understand the global football ecosystem, how to promote increased gender equity and inclusion in their own environments, and how to identify and overcome industry barriers through ethical, strategic and diplomatic practices.
