For Soccer, the preeminent North American soccer marketing, media and experiences company, and the Girls Academy, the only national youth soccer development league exclusively for girls aged 12-18, are pleased to announce the launch of Girls Academy Enterprises.
“Women’s soccer has experienced explosive growth in recent years, but to fully unleash its long-term potential and ensure the U.S. remains a dominant force in the women’s game, incremental investment and a focus on youth are paramount,” said John Guppy, President of Growth Enterprises at For Soccer. “We are enthusiastic about supporting the Girls Academy, which not only provides an elite league for top youth female players but is also committed to educating and empowering future female leaders.”
For Soccer offers a range of industry expertise, focused on accelerating the growth of soccer by delivering unique soccer experiences to brands, fans and players through research and insights, experiential and event marketing, content, partnerships and sponsorships and properties (Alianza de Futbol and Black Star).
“Since launching four years ago, the Girls Academy has been committed to cultivating an environment that empowers each player to reach their potential on and off the field, though many obstacles still exist today,” Girls Academy Commissioner Trish Hughes said. “Sports are a vital developmental experience for our youth, and it’s crucial that we continue to support their growth. The creation of Girls Academy Enterprises is a valuable step in that direction.”
