Ambassador
Hayley Rees
"I've had a love for football since the age of 13, when my school was one of the 1st comprehensive schools to have a girls football team which i was apart of. I played central midfielder for the school girls football team.
I have been an avid Ammanford AFC supporter since 2021. My love for football has grown even more since following an inclusive club at Ammanford AFC. My club has been involved in HGT since the beginning. We've had a pitchside advertisement board since 2021!
We have a ladies team and 160 girls in our girls teams ranging from U6 - U16's and the teams are constantly growing in numbers. I was appointed as HGT Ambassador last season. I approached the club about becoming their ambassador and the chairman's words were "I couldn't think of anyone better to be our club ambassador".
I held a very successful HGT fixture last season (22/03/24) and the fixture had the largest attendance of the season. It was great to see so many people come out to support our vision at HGT. There was an awareness campaign in the programme, I gave out HGT flags and HGT badges to all attendees. The fixture was an opportunity for young girls and fans to get involved in raising awareness for the Her Game Too message! I am proud to be the HGT ambassador for Ammanford AFC.
It is my vision to raise awareness about inclusivity in football, that all fans enjoy football, and to promote that football is a game for all. The club has been fantastic in supporting me with any ideas I have and promoting what I want to achieve. I'm so proud that this club want to support women like me and make us feel like we have a place in this world of football.
