Football: Women
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps her Department is taking to help increase participation in women’s football.
Answered by Stephanie Peacock
The Government is determined to drive participation opportunities for women and girls across sport, including football. The Multi-Sport Grassroots Facilities Programme will invest £85 million in 2026/27, with 30% of priority slots reserved for women’s and girls’ teams. We will also continue to use the Women’s Football Taskforce to deliver tangible change for women and girls from grassroots to elite level.
