Equal Playing Fields: A Call for Inclusivity in Grassroots Football
In an inspiring movement, around 30 women’s and non-binary football teams have initiated a campaign named "Equal Playing Fields" to champion equal access to football pitches across the UK. Launched late last year, the initiative arose from the frustrations experienced by several teams whose long-term pitch bookings were unexpectedly canceled. In many cases, these cancellations were replaced by pitches being allocated to men's corporate leagues, thereby highlighting a glaring disparity in access to sports facilities.
