Wahoo! The 2015 Ladies’ Turn tournament will open THIS Sunday, May 3 in Dakar, Senegal. We and the budding girl soccer stars are very excited.
Over 600 girls are scheduled to play soccer throughout May, many for the very first time! This year, we decided to expand to 6 regions total (instead of 8) to ensure we don’t spread ourselves too thin. Non-stop one day tournaments will be held in the regions of Dakar, Thies, Fatick, Kaolack, Saint Louis, and Kaffrine. Next tournament, we plan to expand to 8 or more.
We are working with schools this year to use soccer as a tool to encourage girls to stay in school.
Non-Stop Tournament Schedule:
May 3- Dakar
May 8- Kaolack
May 9- Fatick
May 16 & 17- Kaffrine
May 23- Thies
May 30- Saint Louis
We’ll update you regularly this month on the tournament’s progress. Right now, we can't say thank you enough for your support! We couldn’t do it without you.
Ku men sa morom duma. Wolof for “May the best team win!”
Now, let the games begin!
