The National Association of Female Football Players (ANJUFF) and the Johan Cruyff Institute have signed an important agreement through Solo Cracks, the company run by our international agent in Chile. The agreement will directly benefit the more than 1,500 federated players participating in the ANFP national tournament, who will be able to choose courses from among the 52 academic programs of the Institute, with grants of 20% and 30%.
The objective of this agreement is that players can be trained in the areas of Sport Management, Sport Marketing and Sponsorship, Football Business and Coaching, with the purpose of contributing to the growth of women’s football and the sports industry, both nationally and internationally.
“It is a great opportunity for those of our players who wish to continue growing and contributing to the development of women’s football, providing tools to facilitate their education. We are proud that such a prestigious institution as the Johan Cruyff Institute has chosen us to sign their first agreement in Chile”, said Iona Rothfeld, president of ANJUFF.
