More about Women in Football - Inspire, Empower, Upskill
WiF champions female talent in a bid to bring about a change in attitudes to women working in the football industry. Whether we are celebrating some of football’s earliest female pioneers such as Manchester City’s 1880 founding member Anna Connell, or professional football’s first female physio, Judith Lo, or nominating female employees for Queen’s Honours or industry awards, WiF is dedicated to celebrating the many contributions by women to our national game.
WiF aims to improve women’s representation at all levels of the game by challenging discrimination and lobbying for change.
Women still remain significantly under-represented in executive and board positions in the football industry. It is our mission to change this, whether through career enhancing mentoring schemes – such as our partnership with 30% Club and Women Ahead – or seminars and workshops.
