Some information about the league:
HISTORY
The LFFMQ, or the “Ligue Féminine de Football mineur du Québec.” is a non-profit organization and was incorporated in 2023.
MISSION
To allow underage girls (15 to 17 years old) to develop and play contact football, in an inclusive, safe and competitive environment in Quebec.
OBJECTIVE
To establish a competitive and inclusive football league, which promotes positive experience and leadership development in a sporting context.
To inspire young girls to lead an active lifestyle.
To exclusively allow young women to develop their skills, educate themselves and perfect their training in the field of contact football.
Allow young girls to come together so that they can emancipate themselves through playing football. Allow girls to represent Quebec in Canadian and international competitions.
ORIGINS
The project emerged from the desire of four civic football associations that have given themselves the mission of offering a competitive football league to girls aged 15-16 and 17 in Quebec. Currently they are starting with five teams: Gatineau, the North Shore of Montreal, Laval, Montreal and the South Shore of Montreal.
