YEDI is dedicated to unlocking the potential of girls through sports, equipping them with essential skills, confidence, and opportunities to thrive. By leveraging football as a catalyst for social development, we engage young people – especially girls – in critical conversations around health, well-being, and personal growth through our outreach tournaments.
One outstanding young footballer who embodies our mission to educate, empower and inspire youths is Oladipo Damilola Shukurat from FC Robo Queens. During our 2024 World AIDS Day Football Tournament, Damilola took center stage, showcasing her exceptional skills and leadership. Her team’s victory was a testament to her determination, resilience, and passion for the game.
Damilola’s journey is a powerful reminder of how sports can break barriers and transform lives. Her commitment to football has earned her a spot on the global stage, with a recent signing by Italian club AS Roma. This remarkable achievement inspires young female footballers to chase their dreams.
At YEDI, we celebrate Damilola’s success and reaffirm our commitment to empowering girls through sports. By providing a supportive platform, we enable young girls to excel, rise through the ranks, and become beacons of hope for their communities.
As Damilola embarks on this exciting new chapter, we wish her continued success. Her story serves as a reminder that with dedication, belief, and the right opportunities, young girls can achieve greatness.
