Background
Women’s football, at Club level, nationally & internationally continues to grow exponentially-the pinnacle being their defence of the Euros 22 title this year; breaking the attendance record for a women’s Final to become the first national team, of the Men’s & Women’s game, to win overseas. However, the opportunity for girls to play football at school continues to be stagnant. A shift in government policy is needed to change the perception & culture of the next generation’s female players.
