We want to hear from those who have struggled to set up women’s football teams

Women's football: have you tried to set up a grassroots team?

Women’s football has seen a score of successes in recent months: England’s top league went professional, the World Cup was watched by record-breaking audiences and crowds during the current FA cup are growing.

The number of girls and women taking up the sport has also skyrocketed, with 605 new girls youth teams and 260 new adult female clubs registered to play this season.

But some women have experienced difficulties in accessing facilities, such as pitches. If you’ve struggled to set up a grassroots women’s football team, then we’d like to hear from you.
