Sport England Active Lives survey says 100,000 more girls playing football

It found girls' participation in football had increased dramatically since the first survey in 2017-18, with the data gathered prior to England's European Championship win in July.

In 2017-18, the survey showed that 669,000 girls of those surveyed were playing football but at the end of the last academic year that figure had risen to 777,000.

The latest survey also found 98,000 more girls were classed as active - defined as doing 60 minutes or more of sport and physical activity per day - compared with the most recent pre-pandemic survey in 2018-19.
