About the FIFA LIVE YOUR GOALS:

The ‘Live Your Goals’ campaign features a number of women’s football’s best players who are living their dreams by having competed in the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Germany and other top international competitions.

The goal of these women and girls was to become a top international footballer.

Achieving this goal has given them the chance to travel all over the world and enjoy many amazing experiences on their way to the top.

But of course, football is for everybody, whatever your goals.

Live Your Goals shows that dreams can come true, no matter what obstacles stand in the way.
