This event marks a significant milestone for the women’s game in England, with a threefold increase in participation compared to last year's inaugural event. The Let Girls Play campaign aims to promote equal access to football for girls, a key objective for the FA.
On the same day, the British Prime Minister announced a new all-sports pledge, guaranteeing every girl in England equal access to football and school sport. The announcement met one of the FA's strategic objectives and highlighted the demand for girls' football in schools and communities.
