“Let’s Develop Women’s Football” is an event designed with three main goals in mind: educating stakeholders about the current status of women in football in the region and around the world; promoting the various opportunities that women’s football offers; and inspiring stakeholders to continue to invest in and improve the women’s game.
The two-day seminar, being held in Philadelphia in the USA, coincides with the semi-finals and the final of the 2014 CONCACAF Women’s Championship, the regional FIFA Women’s World Cup qualifying tournament.
As well as bringing a range of women’s football development experts to Philadelphia, the conference will go global with the five panels on day one, Saturday 25 October, being streamed live around the world via

“The seminar will be a true celebration of women’s football and will further establish CONCACAF’s commitment to the women’s game by highlighting the success stories of our region and providing our Member Associations with new strategies and ideas,” says confederation President Jeffrey Webb.
The first day of Let’s Develop Women’s Football will feature a series of five panels moderated by seasoned sports broadcaster Ann Schatz.
The opening day sessions include Football Changed My Life, Elite Player Development, Hosting the FIFA Women’s World Cup, Football Pathways and Women’s Professional Football Leagues, with a host of impressive speakers lined up.
FIFA and CONCACAF executive committee member and Turks and Caicos Islands FA president Sonia Bien-Aime, Sandra Gage, chief marketing and communication for the Canada 2015 LOC, Tatjana Haenni FIFA deputy director of competitions and head of women’s competitions and FA director of the national game and women’s football Kelly Simmons are just a few of the confirmed panellists.
Day two of the seminar will include a Women’s Football Development Workshop led by director of development Hugo Salcedo, with each of CONCACAF’s 41 Member Associations sending a representative to discuss the issues and opportunities surrounding women’s football development.
