The Cote d’Ivoire Floorball Federation (FIFL) is continuing its floorball development efforts and has now launched a GoGirls! Floorball project with the aim to increase, encourage and promote the participation of girls in floorball.

On the 26th of January around fifty girls only on the city of Treichville (Abidjan) participated in the first stage of the project. The session was held for female students of the 3rd A6 of the Collège Moderne D’Autoroute at the Treichville Sports Centre. The workshop was mainly led by Professor Hatanaz Gbato, under the supervision of FIFL President Marcel Wadja. The workshop included topics such as explanation of the rules of floorball, sticks and ball handling, behaviour on the playing area, and was followed by a game session.
