About coach Irina Giurgiu
Bucharest, Romania
Irina has been involved in the Romanian Women's Football Association since 2010. She has been participating throughout the years and working with different projects organized by the Romanian Football Federation. These projects enabled her to promote football for girls and to increase the awareness of the sport across Romania.
Over the last 5 years Irina continuously specialised, and obtained all the UEFA coaching licenses, culminating in her UEFA A Coaching License in March 2018. She was also involved in the Federal School of Coaches, particularly focusing upon delivery of the UEFA B Coaching License for Women's Football. In the future, Irina will be leading, planning and organising all the UEFA B Coaching License courses for women.
My motivation to be part of this special GGWCup & Erasmus+ Programme project
“I wish to share with other women my experience and passion. I really like to work with people and children, I enjoy every time I'm called to be part of a project. I like to volunteer and help develop female football.”
