Vincent Ferrer’s Rural Development Trust (Anantapur) and La Liga have recently completed the first course for 20 girls (under-15) from rural communities for a one-year financial and training scholarship to stay and train at the Anantapur Sports Village.
The residential academy not only provides them with the opportunity to improve their skills that contribute to personal development but also the opportunity to pursue their dream of playing football at a higher level and have the possibility of continuing their career in the sport, Sai Krishna, director of Anantapur Sports Academy, informed on Friday.
“The girls, under the project, have the option of training in high-quality sports facilities, with good nutrition and proper educational follow-up, which is inaccessible to the majority of the population in such regions,” he said.
