Kingstown, St. Vincent, April 9, 2026 – The St. Vincent and the Grenadines Football Federation (SVGFF) is using next week\u2019s international friendly between the SVG \u201cLady Heat\u201d and the U.S. Virgin Islands as a springboard to reignite women\u2019s football development across the nation.<\/p>\n
Speaking ahead of the April 14th clash, SVGFF President Mr. Otashie Spring revealed that the federation has finalized its female strategic plan and is moving to secure a football development consultant to ensure its implementation. \u201cWe strongly believe that with the falling off we had, there\u2019s a need to entice the interest of women playing the game,\u201d Mr. Spring said, underscoring the urgency of rebuilding momentum.<\/p>\n
The federation\u2019s immediate focus is on revamping school football programs for girls at both primary and secondary levels. Discussions are underway with the Ministry of Education to establish a formal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that will anchor the initiative. \u201cWe want to kick-start with the female school program within the coming weeks. I\u2019m hoping to see activities there from the technical department,\u201d Mr. Spring added.<\/p>\n
The SVG \u201cLady Heat\u201d vs Virgin Islands women\u2019s team international friendly takes place on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, at the Arnos Vale Sporting Complex, Kingstown. Kick-off is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. local time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
