As part of its initiative to grow women’s football in the Confederation, CONCACAF has restarted its CONCACAF W Webinar Series, with the first in a new series of webinars taking place hosted by CONCACAF Head of Women’s Football, Karina LeBlanc, with Bermuda Football Association President Mark Wade taking part.
CONCACAF president Victor Montagliani, who led Canada’s effort to host the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup and drove the launch of CONCACAF W, provided the opening remarks to the many Member Association Presidents, General Secretaries, Heads of Women’s Football and Technical Directors that attended the Webinar.
“We have been doing webinars Confederation-wide and last year when we did it, we reached 2,141 people. It was about bringing the women’s football community together, talking some tactics, talking inspiration, and having people in women’s football feel seen and heard,” said LeBlanc in an exclusive interview with CONCACAF.com
“It started with Victor Montagliani coming in and saying that we have some exciting things going on in a new women’s national teams ecosystem, which is a big deal, that we have developed programs, and that we will be hosting the Under-20 Women’s World Cup in Costa Rica. But I think the key thing is that the many presidents and general secretaries in attendance got the inspiration and understanding of the role that leadership plays in growing the women’s game,” added LeBlanc.
