Meet the team: The Same
This team is comprised of girls from children's homes and circus caravans.
They will be playing for children and young people from children's homes for them to know that their dreams can come true. This team chose SDG10 and they want to tell everyone that it doesn't matter who your parents are. What matters is who you decide to be.
How will the team take action for Goal 10 - Reduce Inequalities?
Together with Veronika Kašáková, model and founder of her endowment fund, the team will go to children's home to have a discussion.
The team will engage all children´s homes in the Czech Republic in making their mascot.
About team captain and coach Tereza Kramlova
Prague, Czech Republic
“I grew up in nomadic family, moving from town to town every week, coming across prejudice every day. I had to join a new group of children in school every week and face jeers, ignorance and cruelty. And that is probably the reason why I now work in endowment fund helping children in children’s homes who might face similar situations.”
My motivation to be a part of this special GGWCup & Erasmus+ Programme project
“In my job I perceive that children and young people in children’s homes are lacking in motivation and when they finally decide to start doing something they often give up. I would like to change that. Feeling that one belongs somewhere is very important to everyone and girls from children’s homes are no exception. I believe that family are not just blood-related people, but it can be friends or in this case team-mates as well.”
Resume & SDG experience
Tereza works for Veronika Kasakova Foundation (Endowment fund of Veronika Kasakova).
In their job Tereza and her colleagues support children on their journey from children´s home into the real life.
Their vision is that every person leaving children´s home shouldn´t be alone and should know what to expect.
About coach Barbora Votikova
Prague, Czech Republic
“I´ve played football since I was 8 years old. I started playing in a small local team full of boys, but now I am a women's football goalkeeper in SK Slavia Prague and a member of the Czech national team.
However, football is not the only thing I do. Since 2012 I also film YouTube videos not only about sport, but also about travelling. Sometimes I make amusing sketches as well. These videos are all meant to entertain my viewers, but I believe some of them can also motivate young people to do more sports and do the things they enjoy. I, personally, can´t imagine doing something that doesn´t fulfil me in the long term.”
My motivation to be a part of this special GGWCup & Erasmus+ Programme project
“Sport is a very important part of my life and it taught me a lot. By participating in GGWCup I want to encourage girls to feel strong, do what they love and to share my passion for football with them.
I am a very motivated person myself and I believe everybody should do the things that fill them with happiness, try new things and challenges and discover both themselves and the world. I believe taking action in UN Global Goals by participating in GGWCup can help achieve this and more.”

About coach Fabiana Bytyqi
Prague, Czech Republic
“Angel fist. That´s my boxing nickname I got after my very first match. It was a surprise to me to get a nickname immediately and I hoped I would get a rougher one, but eventually I got used to it and I quite like it now.
When I was younger I tried other sports as well, specifically karate and kickboxing. However, I´ve ended up becoming a professional boxer and winning the WBC Championship. This sport taught me how to concentrate and to follow my clear goals which helps me in day-to-day life too.
At the same time, I´m an ergotherapy student. I learn how to support and help people with different types of handicaps and disabilities.”
My motivation to be part of this special GGWCup & Erasmus+ Programme project
“I really enjoy sport and boxing. I don´t do it for the sole purpose of winning and I want to pass this approach on other girls, too, because if I felt differently about it, I know it would lose sense. It´s that all the professional sports are influenced by money. A lot of people that surround me do sport for money and they´re very stressed out. It shouldn´t be like this. It´s always up to us whether we´ll be happy or not. By participating in GGWCup I want to inspire all the girls to follow what they love and not to be afraid of trying new things.”
