The Football Association is aiming to see 90% of schools providing girls with equal access to football at key stages two and three by 2028, as part of a new four-year strategy to grow women’s and girls’ football.

The FA is also targeting winning another major tournament within the next four years, in the wake of the England team’s success at Euro 2022 and reaching the 2023 World Cup final. The Lionesses will seek to defend their European title in Switzerland next summer, before hoping to win a first world title in 2027.
