Girls Can To
Elas em campo
Elas em Campo was born from our reality: girls who faced prejudice, lack of opportunities, and low visibility in football. We created a solution that connects players, enables training groups, promotes girls’ football programs, and shares inspiring content. More than an app, we are a network of support, empowerment, and representation. Our goal is to ensure girls have the same paths, respect, and opportunities as boys. Aligned with SDGs 5, 10, 3, and 4, the project expands access to sport, promotes equality, and strengthens dreams—showing that girls belong in football.

Learning Journey
Learning Journey
We learned that creating an impactful solution requires truly listening to the audience we want to help. We gained a better understanding of the difficulties many girls face in getting into soccer, such as prejudice, lack of access, and insecurity. One of the biggest challenges was transforming these pain points into a simple, useful, and welcoming idea. We also had difficulty organizing ideas and defining the app's main functions, but we overcame this by working as a team, dividing tasks, and focusing on what would truly make a difference for the users.
Information Legitimacy Description
Our team verified the information using reliable sources such as news articles, research studies, sports websites, and data about female participation in soccer. We also looked for real stories from girls who try to play soccer but face difficulties such as prejudice, lack of support, few opportunities, and insecurity. In addition, the creators of the app have personally experienced these difficulties, which helped us better understand the reality faced by many girls. We compared different sources to confirm that the information was consistent and up to date, ensuring that our solution was based on real needs.
