Amsterdam Cats work with the American Women’s Football League

Entrepreneur Kanisa Mulun is the founder of the NFL and her mission is to get women to play American football in all major Dutch cities. In the last five years, I have built an organization with six Dutch-American football teams and over 150 members.

From amateurs to professionals
Starting this month, Amsterdam women in the NFL are working with the NFL to give female players more opportunities in the sport. In recent decades, this American partner has grown into a platform where women can finally fulfill their dream of professional American football. With WFA as a partner, players from the Dutch Football League could play in America and possibly start a professional career there, as is already possible for sports like soccer and tennis.

Additionally, a partnership with WFA opens many international doors and FTQ members can participate in matches in the United States, as well as in countries such as Mexico and Costa Rica where American football is very popular.

We work together to empower women
Kanisa Molon wants to remove barriers that prevent girls and women from joining the NFL through this partnership. “It guarantees that they can play anywhere in the world.” Molona is not only the manager of the FTQ team, but also the one who ensures that athletic players can find suitable sportswear of all sizes. This inspired her earlier this year to launch a body positivity campaign with a number of American footballers in the lead, to show that plus-size women also enjoy exercising.
