Football can change lives. But for many Muslim girls, barriers are making football out of reach. Despite a strong passion, many Muslim girls face real barriers to getting involved, from cultural perceptions and lack of modest clothing options, to concerns around privacy and environments where football is played.
We want to change this. No matter age, role, ability or background, we want every girl to believe that they belong in football – they are Made for this Game.
The Insights Are Clear...
• Only 40% of Muslim girls in mainstream schools feel comfortable taking part in physical activity
• Fewer than 25% join clubs outside school
