Bring the Sensational League to Your Club
The Sensational League is based on our successful Global Goals World Cup (GGWCUP) and coach education experience in 17 countries since 2016.
Now, we're seeking partnerships with U.S. clubs to bring this exciting new league to your community.
When you host a Sensational League, your club can strengthen community ties, and engage with even more women fans.
