Grassroots
First awarded with a Bronze membership in 2019, the MFF has, over the years, demonstrated its keenness to enhance its grassroots football programme through numerous avenues, including increased community engagement, organisation of youth competitions, and the provision of training resources for local coaches and players.
Upon evaluation, the AFC Grassroots Panel members were pleased to note that the recent initiatives introduced were closely aligned with the Confederation’s core grassroots philosophy of expanding the reach of the beautiful game.
Most notably, the experts commended the MFF’s commitment towards coach and player development through a series of initiatives, such as conducting regular grassroots coaching courses, the cascading effect of which has seen a significant increase in interest in grassroots participation across the country.
With the presence of tailored football and futsal programmes for young girls and women, the panellists were also appreciative of the emphasis laid on inclusivity, which further underlined the AFC’s goal of providing all individuals with an opportunity to play the sport.
Moreover, the panel members noted the MFF’s dedication towards creating a safe and secure environment for the nation’s youngsters to thrive in, through the active promotion and implementation of safeguarding principles.
MFF General Secretary Tun Tun Aung said: “We first received the AFC Grassroots Charter Bronze Membership in 2019, and now we are proud to have our membership renewed.
“The recognition reflects our continued commitment to developing grassroots football as we are striving to strengthen our programmes and elevate our standards through a wide range of workshops and grassroots activities across the region.
“Our goal is to achieve the Silver membership within the next two years which will reaffirm our dedication to the growth and sustainability of football at the grassroots level.”
