The appointment of the UAE for women's football is an important step towards developing women's football in the country by appointing the Dutch coach Vera Pauw to coach the national women's team. Vera Pauw, who was a former national player with the Dutch women's team, is considered the first Dutch woman to play professional football outside her country when she joined the Italian Modena club.
Pauw has extensive coaching experience, having previously coached women's national teams in the Netherlands, South Africa, and Ireland, in addition to several European teams and clubs. This step of appointing Pauw provides an opportunity for Emirati players to benefit from her experience and skills in the international women's football arena. The UAE aims to utilize her expertise to enhance the performance of the women's team towards achieving tangible results in upcoming competitions.
