Women in Football

Today we call on FIFA and all governing bodies to ensure that women working in the game, on and off the pitch, feel safe, welcome and supported. Our #OpenDoorsAgenda is a starting point for the transformation to a fully gender-inclusive sport. Join us in supporting the Open Doors Agenda as a first step towards the fundamental culture change needed for football to become safe, welcoming and supportive towards women. Find out more below and add your name to our list of supporters - the more voices that join our call, the louder it becomes. ℹ️ https://lnkd.in/eQYquwa4

All of us at Women in Football wish Samuel Okafor the very best as he starts his new role as CEO of Kick It Out today. Just like us, Kick It Out exist to fight discrimination and make sure football is a game for everyone. It was great to see Samuel and our CEO Yvonne Harrison at the Oval watching some cricket together on Saturday, and no doubt putting some plans into place with equality and inclusion at the forefront. #womeninfootball #kickitout #equality #inclusion #football
