Inspired by WEURO22: Coach Samira’s interview with Surrey FA

Last year, coach Samira Ali (co-founder of Smart Sport FC and head coach of the girls team) was interviewed by the Surrey Football Association as part of their initiative to reach out to inspirational individuals in the county who coach female football. With the Women's Euro 2022 taking place in the UK, it was a great time to celebrate the contributions of coaches like Samira who are dedicated to growing the sport for women and girls in Surrey.

Samira has been coaching football since 2021 and has been instrumental in creating opportunities for young girls in Croydon to get involved in the sport. With her passion and commitment, she has helped to build the girls team

In the interview, Samira shares her story and provides insight into what inspired her to become a football coach, the challenges she's faced along the way, and the joys of working with young players.

At Smart Sport FC, we are incredibly proud of Samira's achievements and her dedication to growing the sport of football for girls and women in our community. We believe that Samira's story will inspire others to get involved in coaching and help to create more opportunities for young girls to play and enjoy the sport.

We encourage all of our members and supporters to read the interview and learn more about Samira's inspiring journey as a coach. Together, we can help to create a bright future for female football in Surrey and beyond.
