The FSA (Football Supporters Association) have been working with a committee of stakeholders to support the arrival of the Afghan Women’s Development football team in the UK.
The team has now arrived in the UK and they require some additional support with your help!
One way the FSA has committed to helping initially is through the sharing of information on what the players and their families need. There are two pressing things as it stands:
– Warm clothing and shoes
– Funds to assist with living expenses – including food and medical needs.
Therefore the FSA are asking clubs to support donations to the just giving page and/or to the clothing bank that has been set up.
