Fucho para Ciegos Puebla, A.C.
The global project aimed at the women's Topos FC team, intends to strengthen the experience of the women's team, through the internal link between girl players and volunteers with the practice of adapted soccer; and the performance of off-field dynamics to encourage greater participation and accompaniment among women.
Unfortunately, the COVID 21 pandemic that we have suffered worldwide meant a significant break for our activities on the court, but in this year 2022, we have returned with renewed energy and eager to make up for lost time.
Although we started this year with fewer players, we have carried out actions aimed at publicizing the project of our women's team and expanding the number of both players and volunteers who accompany our team on a weekly basis.
*Since the month of January of this year we have resumed the face-to-face training of our team in our field “La Madriguera”.
*In the month of March, commemorating women's month, we hosted the forum “Nos topas? Mujeres a nivel de cancha”, where Diana Coraza (ADECIPU paraathlete), Silvana Leiva (Researcher of the Somos Versus collective) and Ángeles Ortiz (Women´s Topos FC player), created a meeting space in which they shared their experiences of being a woman in sport, football and disability.
*In this first half of the year we also celebrate the arrival of Ricardo Bonet as the new coach of our women's team. Ricky has extensive experience in adapted soccer and is also the coach of the Mexican women's team.
*In the months of May and June, we carried out a campaign on social networks to attract talent, which resulted in the number of players on our team being able to double, in addition to the incorporation of Harumi and Marina, as volunteers. , providing knowledge, empathy and a lot of dynamism every Saturday on the court.
*Throughout this entire semester, the relationship in face-to-face training with the men's team has continued, to achieve collaborative learning spaces between men and women.
Coming?
*The premiere of sweatshirts and caps is coming for all our players, so that they proudly wear the Women´s Topos FC shield wherever they go.
*The participation of our women's team in the activities of World Game Day is coming, which will take place in La Madriguera on August 27, where they will share their skills, their energy and their joy with the rest of our community.
*For the month of September, it is expected that our girls will play a match against their counterpart from Jalisco, in which they will debut their new uniforms, which were chosen by them.
*Another of our great goals for the second semester is that our women's team continues to grow, both on and off the field, with more players, more volunteers, more technical staff, more friends and family.
