In May 2022, FIFA launched the second edition of its Coach Mentorship Programme, which will see 20 women from across the globe mentored by 20 of the game’s most accomplished coaches.

In a key milestone of the FIFA Coach Mentorship programme, the participants came together for a three-day workshop at the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup 2022™, currently taking place in Costa Rica from 10-28 August.

As one of the eight programmes available under the FIFA Women’s Development Programme, the FIFA Coach Mentorship Programme aims to develop and empower a new generation of female coaches who are individually mentored by a top coach from the women’s game over an 18-month period.

The accomplished mentor list includes two FIFA Women’s World Cup winning coaches and the current Women’s Olympic Football Gold Medallist coach.
