Dempo SC Youth Development – Technical Director Karnagaran Naidoo said that Dempo Sports Club were extremely happy to organise this festival. “Women have been emerging to take centre stage in the world on all fronts. Football has been one of the powerful and meaningful vehicles that have propelled women to reveal their true force in a sport that was previously dominated by men. We salute women everywhere for their strong voices, principles, their role in the upliftment of society and the special roles they play in all facets of life!”
