Spence hopes to use the tournament as a platform to realise her ambition of playing for a professional women’s club.“The exposure she will receive will be fantastic,” said Spence’s mom Annwen Stirling.“There are more international games scheduled in Europe this summer and again later in the year.“Her dream is to play football on a professional level, and she has been quite fortunate over the years as her football skills and dedication to the game has opened many doors for her.“She has earned trips to the US, Valencia FC in Spain, the Bahamas and now the UK.”Spence, the first female player to join the BBFS in 2009, currently attends Montverde Academy in Florida, having left Clearwater Middle School at the age of 12.Cal Blankendal, the BBFS CEO, is elated to see one of the school’s players chosen to play on the international stage.“Jasmine was the first female player to join the BBFS programme in 2009, during that time she was the only female player to train with the boys.“It was evident she was just as talented or even more talented (than the boys),” he said.“Jasmine joined one of the outfield sessions at last summer’s camp and caught the attention of Swansea keeper coach Adrian Tucker, who saw her as a potential future player for the Wales women's national team.“The BBFS is proud to see Jasmine achieve much success in her short but very successful academic and athletic career.“The BBFS model and camps have proven that at anytime, you can be seen, recruited and achieve success based on your determination and academic/athletic abilities.“Jasmine is not a female player she is a football player and her mindset sets her apart from the rest.”
