We want every young girl to have the opportunity to play football in school. This isn바카라 사이트檛 only about laying the foundations for future Lionesses to rise up, but also a chance for the power of football to help create change within the education system and set an example for equality.聽
Only 50% of secondary schools currently offer equal access to football for girls and boys. At such a crucial time in a young person바카라 사이트檚 life we cannot underestimate the positive impact football and sport can have on their physical and mental wellbeing.
The PM바카라 사이트檚 announcement is an encouraging build upon the legacy of our Euros win in 2022. We as Lionesses are eager to see the speedy introduction of these new proposals. A bright future is ahead.

The partnerships approach will ensure inclusive best practice is shared and adopted widely across all schools in England.聽
This builds on the work the government is already doing with partners including Youth Sport Trust and Sport England to boost participation having already invested 拢100m to upgrade sports facilities.
