Chapman said; ‘It is great for the club and our squad to stand together with Plan International on International Women’s Day. It’s important for us as women in elite sport to recognise the challenges girls and women are facing around the world, and show our support for them.’

At the ‘Audience with Chelsea Ladies’ event in May, in partnership with Plan International, new signings Ramona Bachmann, Erin Cuthbert, Crystal Dunn and Maren Mjelde took to the stage at Stamford Bridge and discussed the barriers they faced as women playing football and the advice they would pass onto the next generation.
