In a remarkable highlight of FIFA’s Women’s Football Campaign 2025, Asomaniwaa Akoto Akrofi has emerged as a trailblazer, becoming one of the youngest known referees in Ghana. Officiating local girls’ matches in the Eastern Region, the 7-year-old’s poise and dedication reflect the transformative power of early mentorship and opportunity. Her journey is a testament to the campaign’s impact on breaking barriers and inspiring the next generation of female football leaders.
Despite her tender age, Asomaniwaa discovered her passion for refereeing just a few months ago and has thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
She credits her brother, a football player, as her inspiration – wanting to carve out her own path in the sport. With determination and a love for the game, Asomaniwaa is poised to achieve even greater milestones in football officiating.
