Wow, what a past two weeks it has been for our teams at Fútbol Garabito!
Our U17 girls’ team, one of the best in the country, faced a tough loss just over a week ago, falling 3-0. With our tournament hopes on the line, the girls had to win by 3 or more goals in their next game to stay in the competition.
Last Saturday, they showed incredible resilience and determination, winning 3-0 and taking the match to penalty kicks. It was a nail-biting finish, with each team making their first 6 shots. On the 7th shot, our girls scored, and the other team missed – leading to a celebration we’ll never forget. I still smile every time I watch it. You can see the incredible moment [here].
Our boys’ team is set to play this Saturday for their chance to qualify for the tournament as well. This achievement would be monumental, as our girls’ team has only qualified once before, and the boys have never qualified. We are demonstrating to these kids that with teamwork, anything is possible
We are doing amazing things here, showing our community that hard work and unity can lead to success. Your support has been invaluable in getting us this far, and we ask for your continued investment in our organization.
