Abily, Schelin, Georges and Boquete named UEFA ambassadors

Camille Abily, Lotta Schelin, Laura Georges and Verónica Boquete gathered at the FFF’s offices in Paris on Monday where they were appointed ambassadors of the UEFA Women’s Football Development Programme. The four players joined former German international Steffi Jones, who was the first person to be named as an ambassador for the programme.

Camille Abily said “Our goal is to meet with representatives of other countries where it is difficult for girls to play football. In France, we happen to have a federation that believes in the future of women’s football. To change some opinions… that’s my goal!”

Verónica Boquete added “Without doubt, it will motivate future generations and it’s really important (…) Girls who are developing in the game want to be like us and need female points of reference so to have us as ambassadors is something very interesting. It’s exciting for us to know that we can make a difference to the future of women’s football.” (Source: UEFA)
