Physically fit and healthy through football
Football is a game changer: Regular team training strengthens the cardiovascular system, improves coordination, and endurance. Girls who play football are significantly more physically active than their non-sporting peers. Studies show that playing football builds muscle, improves posture, and promotes bone development—which leads to greater fitness and well-being in the long term.
Psychological benefits: self-confidence, community and joy of life
A UEFA study showed that girls who play football have significantly higher self-esteem and less anxiety than girls who do not play sports.
Social skills and team experience
Football is a team sport and promotes social skills such as communication, respect, and team spirit. Children learn to take responsibility, play fairly, and achieve goals together with others – valuable experiences that have an impact far beyond the pitch.
Why football protects against talent and keeps girls motivated
In many sports, early selection and pressure to perform determine progress. Football, on the other hand, primarily promotes endurance, the joy of movement, and motivation. Girls retain the fun even if they change or take a break later.
Shy girls benefit enormously from sports
Football gives reserved girls space to try new things and build self-confidence. In safe, supportive environments, girls strengthen their voices, become more confident, and learn to get involved – regardless of their starting level.
Role models: A change of perspective
The success stories of the women's national team and European Championship stars like Ramona Bachmann and Riola Xhemaili motivate girls in Switzerland. They demonstrate that football is not just a hobby—it's a path to self-development and passion. Many of these players trained individually in their youth—for example, at 360Football.
