In a bold move to elevate women’s football and engage a wider audience, the Women’s National Football Conference (WNFC) has announced the launch of its inaugural Ambassador Program. This initiative aims to amplify the visibility of women’s tackle football, foster community engagement and inspire the next generation of athletes and fans.
A Milestone for Women’s Football
The WNFC’s Ambassador Program represents a significant milestone in the league’s mission to redefine the narrative around women’s sports. By enlisting a diverse group of ambassadors—from players and coaches to influencers and advocates—the program seeks to create a network of passionate individuals dedicated to promoting the sport’s growth and accessibility.
“This program is about more than just football,” said Odessa Jenkins, President and Co-Founder of the WNFC. “It’s about empowering women, building community, and showing the world what’s possible when we invest in women’s sports.”
Empowering Voices, Inspiring Change
Ambassadors selected for the program will serve as representatives of the WNFC, leveraging their platforms to share stories, highlight achievements, and advocate for the league’s core values of inclusion, excellence and innovation. They will also participate in events, mentorship programs and promotional campaigns designed to expand the reach of women’s football.
The initiative aligns with the WNFC’s broader vision of challenging stereotypes and breaking down barriers in sports. By amplifying voices within the community, the league hopes to inspire young athletes to pursue their dreams and create a ripple effect that transforms perceptions of women’s sports.
Inaugural Ambassadors
The list of inaugural ambassadors represents an incredible compilation of the best in women’s football.
They are: Santia Deck, Mariah Lopez, Marissa Lopez, Candy Bortz, Paulina Lopez, Tanya Luna, Toni Harris, Lexi Floor, Maria Fautali, Anastasia “Nana” Olavuo; Destanie Yarbrough, Antoinette Louise, Malissa Miles, Jasmine Nelson and Kera Mitchell.
Building a Legacy
The Ambassador Program is just one of several initiatives the WNFC has launched to bolster the league’s impact. With partnerships, sponsorships and media collaborations already in place, the league is poised to reach new heights. The ambassadors’ efforts will complement these initiatives, ensuring a cohesive and comprehensive approach to growth.
“The future of women’s football is bright,” Jenkins added. “And with the help of our ambassadors, we’re taking the game to the next level.”
A Call to Action
The WNFC invites fans, supporters and organizations to join the movement by following the ambassadors’ journeys and participating in league events. By coming together, the community can celebrate the achievements of these athletes and contribute to the continued success of women’s football.
As the WNFC kicks off its Ambassador Program, the message is clear: women’s football is here to stay, and its impact will be felt far and wide.
