Barclays will collaborate with The Football Association (FA) and The Youth Sport Trust to support the development and delivery of 100 Girls’ Football School Partnerships. The multimillion-pound partnership – running until July 2022 – will see the top tier of women’s football renamed as the ‘Barclays FA Women’s Super League’ and the introduction of record levels of investment into the women’s game in England.

The new partnership includes The FA and Barclays working together to drive the growth of the women’s game at a grassroots level, with Barclays becoming the lead partner of the FA Girls’ Football School Partnerships, a nationwide scheme to help develop girls’ access to football at school. The initiative will see a network of hubs delivering bespoke FA programmes for their local network of schools, which will engage, excite and encourage girls to make football a part of their life. Barclays will collaborate with The FA and The Youth Sport Trust to support the development and delivery of 100 Girls’ Football School Partnerships.

The FA Women’s Super League is Europe’s only fully professional domestic female football league and this new partnership will help The FA and the clubs transform the women’s game in England, driving increased awareness via significant allocated marketing spend, celebrating the league’s players and clubs and changing perceptions. The partnership will also see the introduction of an annual £500,000 prize fund for the league, active as of the 2019/20 season and distributed based on final league position.
