Only 63% of schools currently offer girls’ football in PE lessons
Win or lose, women’s teams deserve respect, resources and celebration. So, what could this victory mean for the broader world of football? PA's Imy Brighty-Potts looks at how much of an impact this could have on the game:Suitable spaces to play can be an issue for women’s football teams, and some don’t receive enough funding or sponsorship to cover the cost of pitches – meaning players and coaches have to.
We’re hoping this win will change things, giving female and non-binary players the same spaces and opportunities to thrive – meaning the quality of our footballers will continue to soar.Earlier this year, Alex Scott told PA Media: “In 2002, we had hand-me-down football kits from the men’s first team. And it looked like I was like wearing a parachute. Even having women with their own customised fitted kits is a step.
Research from Women In Sport found complex barrier and deep-rooted negative attitudes are affecting girls’ enjoyment of sport. Body image and puberty are also significant factors. We’re hoping the huge viewing figures and attendances of Euro 2022 will carry through to the Women’s Super League ., according to research from the FA.
