IT’S the women’s FA Cup Final tomorrow and more girls than ever are diving feet first into football.
A further surge in popularity is expected with the women’s World Cup this summer.

And the good news is, there are plenty of initiatives making it easier for girls to play the game . . .
KICK IT OFF: Start your girl’s football journey with Weeta-bix Wildcats.
The sessions for those aged five to 11 take place across England, for around £3 a go.
Many also offer free tasters.
A similar scheme, Huddle, runs in Wales.
The Scottish Football Association and Irish Football Association also have details of grassroots clubs.
MAKE A MATCH: The best way to get everyone fired up about women’s football is to take them to a match — and tickets for top women’s games cost a fraction of the outlay for men’s matches.
For example, in the Women’s Super League, Chelsea play at West Ham next Wednesday, and tickets are £10 adults, £5 kids.
