'I want my daughters to have the same opportunity' - Everton duo Seamus Coleman and Gabby George make history

Seamus Coleman and Gabby George have become the first Premier League and Barclays Women’s Super League players to sign up as official advocates of Her Game Too.

The duo kicked off their formal support of the campaign by inviting youngsters from an Everton School Supporters’ Club to Finch Farm for a special event to celebrate International Women’s Day. In December 2021, Everton became the first top-flight football club to formally support Her Game Too, which aims to champion women in sport and tackle sexist and online abuse.

While various activities have since taken place to highlight that support, Coleman and George have now become the first two top-flight players to officially back the initiative. Their duties will include raising awareness of Her Game Too and its key messages, and educating team-mates and fans about progress and positive steps being taken at Everton and beyond.
