Women's football in October played for a good cause

women-raiders-hibs131001DAConsistent with its practice to collaborate in various initiatives of humanitarian dimension, the Women’s Football section of the MFA is in the forefront in assisting in activities for such good causes.

Last month the Malta Football Association and the Action for Breast Cancer Foundation (ABCF) launched a new initiative aimed at raising an awareness of breast cancer, where the women’s national football team were presented as Ambassadors of a programme of events with an apt title ‘Give Cancer the Boot’. The Women’s National Team are also Hard Rock Café Malta Pinktober Ambassadors and play an active part in their Pinktober campaign.

The programme is now being followed up by the association’s pledge to have its Women’s National Team and BOV Women’s Leagues and Under-16 League matches in October played with the Breast Cancer Awareness theme as the central point.

Therefore during this month, matches in all venues will be played for this good cause, with the participants knowing that football is also a medium through which the public can be educated in various humanitarian values.

One of these is Breast Cancer Awareness accompanied by a lifelong mentality where prevention is better than cure and also to discard the fear factor and face this condition with a bold and positive attitude.
