"The women's football strategy is a requirement by FIFA so it is mandated that we have a strategy which is for four years," she said.

"It is a clear pathway in the development of the game focusing on key areas. There is more to football than the national teams.

"Fixing the fundamentals is very important. We have put in a lot of work and now we have a seat on the GFA EXCO for women."
