Coaches and parents across country report high interest in girls’ teams, yet varying levels of access
Within days of England’s Euros win, grassroots girls’ football clubs reported being overwhelmed with the rise in requests.
However, access to football varies across the country, with some areas lacking girls’ teams for all ages. Only 44% of secondary schools offer girls and boys equal access to football. Additionally, travel and costs are a barrier to some girls getting on to the pitch.
