Women's football today secured a cash boost of up to £15million for the next three years, starting from next season.
Barclays have pledged the funds to the FA Women’s Super League and Girls’ Football Schools Partnerships and will become the title sponsor of Super League.
The brand investment is thought to be one of the largest ever in UK women’s sport.
“We are delighted to announce our landmark partnership with Barclays and are looking forward to them joining us on a journey to transform the future of women’s football,” said Kelly Simmons, FA’s director of the women’s game.
“Their record, multi-million-pound commitment will impact all levels of the game and will support our ambition to make the Barclays FA Women’s Super League the world’s most successful league, on and off the pitch.
“Of equal importance is the support this provides to the FA Girls’ Football School Partnerships, a cornerstone to our ambition to double participation.”
