Baroness Sue Campbell, head of women’s football at The FA, told TheFA.com: “This evening’s FA Women’s Football Awards has given us all an opportunity to look back and celebrate everything that has been achieved in women’s football in the last season, from grassroots to the elite level.
“It has been a season spearheaded by major developments in key areas of The Gameplan for Growth and I’m proud of all that’s been achieved.
“England climbed to number two in the world rankings, we had a record-breaking attendance at the SSE Women’s FA Cup Final, over 900 SSE Wildcats Centres are now open and the restructure of the women’s domestic game.
“Thanks to all the clubs, players and facilitators who have made this progress possible and we now look ahead to another great season.”

Give men bit less to help female footballers they can’t even get mortgage yet moment top men get more a week the England women get in a years salary Same job.. Same pay its the law and the fact stopping women playing for 50 year need to now make up for that.. Anyone agree then let the f.a know petition them please or the women’s game will not grow as it needs to.. J Redford lifelong supporter age 62
