In this episode of The First and Only, Sara Abdullah Pilot, co-founder and chairperson of CEQUIN (Centre for Equity and Inclusion), talks about the role sport can play in creating opportunities for girls and young women in India.
Through CEQUIN’s work, football has become more than a game. It gives girls access to public spaces, builds confidence and leadership, and challenges expectations about where girls belong and what they can achieve.
For Road to FIFA 2034, the conversation raises an important question: if India is to build a stronger football nation, how do we make sure girls are part of that journey from the grassroots?
Building the next generation of Indian football talent means creating opportunities for both boys and girls to play, develop and dream bigger.
