off to exciting heights.

the years the quality and
quantity of female players
has increased.
Bermuda female teams have
won medals in international
competitions before.
We commit to the develop-
ment of the female game.
SAFETY & SECURITY, DOMESTIC LEAGUES
Our Clubs provide a fun envi-
ronment for people in the
community to come together
to enjoy themselves.
Bermuda has seen untold

When we were in office be-
fore, we spearheaded efforts
with others, to make educa-
tion available through foot-
ball. We set up the Education
Committee and we set up the
BFA Legends Scholarships
awarding numerous football-
ers the opportunity to pursue
their education and career
goals.
We commit to continuing the
Scholarships programmes.
We are committed to working
with the Government, the
Police, the community and
Crimestoppers Bermuda to
ensure that we can always
have a safe environment.

Football in Bermuda devel-

a strong foundation and envi-

which young people can have
the opportunity to prosper

level of football.
When last in office, we were
committed to ensuring that
every Club could enjoy the
benefits of the $15 million.
