We could start getting parity between the women and mens game. Getting more women into the game but also into the mens game. I dont see many women managers/ assistants in the top flight mens clubs. Only the third woman in history to be appointed as a referee for 2023 , which is mindboggling.
I am fortunate to see the take up of girls football in schools in our borough and other sports such as rugby and cricket but I think its not just opportunity but the mindset of boys and men that also provide a barrier of entry. You can see this in the playground in primary as the girls want to play but somehow not included. The interest and participation is growing and hopefully no longer ignored at the grass roots.
I’d love to be in a world where Russos shirt is proudly worn by everybody supporting England everywhere. There will definitely be more stars on the womens shirt in the future. Ian Wright will explode with emotion when England win the Euros.
