The sports minister Nigel Huddleston has confirmed that the government will launch an in-depth review of domestic women’s football this summer with the aim of helping it close the gap with the men’s game.
The review will be independently chaired and supported by an expert advisory panel, with the DCMS saying it will look at developing the women’s game at elite and grassroots level. Its focus will also look at commercialisation, spectator support and media interest, publishling its findings by the end of the year.
