Girl Talk
Could you be the next voice of football in SA?
Dove and FIFA are teaming up to champion the next generation of female sports commentators. Introducing Girl Talk: a movement designed to amplify young women’ s voices, break down barriers, and show what’ s possible when girls are seen, heard, and celebrated.
Today, the world of sports is still dominated by male voices, on the field and behind the mic. Girl Talk is changing that. As the official partner of the FIFA World Cup 2026, Dove is handing the mic to girls across South Africa, inviting them to share their passion, energy, and love for the game on the biggest stage of all.
This initiative is a call to community, body confidence, and connection. Together with Hope Mbhele, a leading voice in sports, Dove is searching for girls who are ready to use their voices, tell their stories, and inspire others.
Are you a dream chaser? Do you have something to say about the game you love? We want to see the world of football through your eyes! Unfiltered, unapologetic, and uniquely yours because # TheGameIsYours.
