Tell us: how is access to UK girls’ football where you live?

England’s victory in the Euros has been hailed as inspirational as the Football Association says it is aiming to get 120,000 more girls onto the pitch.

But currently, only 44% of secondary schools offer girls and boys equal access to football during the school day, and some areas do not have a local girls’ team. Grassroots youth teams have been affected by a lack of affordable pitches.

We’d like to hear from people in the UK about access to girls’ football in your area. Does your child’s school offer girls equal time on the pitch during PE and outside school hours? How easy is it to find somewhere to play nearby, like a local club?

If you work in youth football, we’d like to hear from you too.
