Bhavna Malkani
Reason for nomination:
Bhavna co-founded 'She's Got Skills', an inclusive football platform dedicated to women, encouraging and promoting female participation in football through various initiatives. Her influence extends beyond that. Last summer, she brought her brilliant energy and knowledge to our first Footy Addicts Women's Football Tournament. Her role was crucial. Interviewing players, sharing insights, and participating in a panel discussion, really highlighting the ups and downs women face in the sport. It was her enthusiasm and expertise that enriched the event and making a tournament, a safe space for meaningful dialogue and change. Bhavna's a real community hero, someone who’s changing the game for women in football, and she deserves all the recognition for her tireless efforts and unwavering dedication.
