Following the success of #SameGoals since its inception in 2018 \u2013 with over 4,000 girls around the world having taken part so far – Manchester City has announced the return of the initiative for its fourth year.
\nAiming to inspire the next generation of female footballers, #SameGoals pledges to deliver a special limited-edition football provided by PUMA to every girl who shares a video showing them scoring \u2013 or saving \u2013 a goal to grow her passion and help her focus on achieving her dreams.
\nTo receive their free ball, girls need to post a video on Twitter, Instagram or\u202fTikTok\u202fthat shows them scoring \u2013 or saving \u2013 a goal using #SameGoals. The goal can be created anywhere using any kind of ball; the more creative, the\u202fbetter.*
\nAlternatively, participants can upload their video at\u00a0www.mancity.com\/samegoals.\u00a0
\nIn addition to the social media movement at the event\u2019s core, previous years have seen City Football Schools host special coaching clinics for young girls across the UAE as part of the campaign.

\nThe series will cover business and management perspectives as well as coaching and technical tips, with the likes of Head Coach Gareth Taylor, Managing Director Gavin Makel, first team players Caroline Weir, Esme\u202fMorgan\u202fand\u202fSam\u202fMewis\u202foffering their support amongst others.
\nAdditionally, there will be a workshop with PUMA where attendees will learn about the growth of sportswear brands from those at the heart of the action.
\nWith limited capacity, the workshops are aimed at anyone interested in the football industry or grassroots game on a first-come, first-served basis as City continue their pledge and commitment to keep growing the game.
\nAttendees will be required to register in advance to attend the workshops, with registration opening on Monday 15th\u00a0February. To find out more about the sessions and register, please visit\u00a0www.mancity.com\/samegoals.

\n\u201cThe players who held the football clinics last year were blown away by the response and although this year we won\u2019t be able to do things in person as usual, it\u2019s so important to continue the growth\u202fof #SameGoals\u202fhowever we can in these unprecedented times.
\n\u201cKeeping fit and motivated has never been so important as it has this past year either – to have already had so many young girls\u202fget involved\u202fin the past three years is just amazing, but I know there\u2019s a lot more out there and we\u2019d love you to\u202fjoin in.
\n\u201cI\u2019ve been in the position of those young girls wanting to play football and the #SameGoals campaign really does enforce just how much Manchester City cares about growing the women\u2019s game, right from grassroots level.\u201d
\nGavin Makel, Managing Director of Manchester City Women, added:\u202f\u201cIncreasing participation levels at grassroots level and encouraging young girls to have their first experience of playing football is something that we, as a\u202fClub,\u202fare tremendously passionate about.
\n\u201cThe #SameGoals campaign is a great example of that, having engaged with thousands of people worldwide over the last four years.
\n\u201cBeing able to see and hear some of the inspiring stories through\u202f#SameGoals\u202fis something that we are very proud of, as we aim to make meaningful impact\u202fwith\u202fnot just individuals,\u202fbut within local communities.\u201d
