Katayoun Khosrowyar shortlisted for WSU Coach Award
Tehran Times – ORLANDO, Iranian football coach Katayoun Khosrowyar has been shortlisted for World Soccer United (WSU) Coach Award.
Khosrowyar will vie with Anouk Bruil and Liga Patupa for the award.
Katayoun Khosrowyar grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma. As an Iranian-American she has been able to bring her own “revolution” to Iran. It’s a beautiful story that has allowed her to shape the national landscape of Iranian women’s football, womenssoccerunited.com reported.
She has empowered Iranian women in football.
In 2014, she was the first Iranian woman to have earned a FIFA/AFC “A” license. At such a young age, she has been able to inspire many girls to pursue their dream of playing football.
Kat has opened up many doors for future generation of girls through her tenacity and persistent. Few of her girls have received offers from Europe.
In addition, Kat not only manages the U-19 side of Iran’s women’s national team, but advises the U-16/U-14 side as well. She is doing the job of three or more people simply because she believes she can create a pathway for a better future for these girls.
Furthermore, she has built communications and bridges with other nations to empower more women in various other countries. This lady single-handedly has been able to build a better relationship with the United States through football. This by itself is great for diplomacy.
