Petition Close the gender gap in Welsh women’s football: fund a national equality plan
Despite progress in recent years, Welsh women’s football still lacks equal development pathways, funding, and visibility. Girls face barriers to progressing beyond the grassroots level, especially after U19. We need a national plan that ensures parity across youth and elite levels by 2030. Wales cannot afford to lose more talent to inequality.
More details
We call on the Welsh Government to provide the funding to enable the FAW and Sport Wales to deliver a 5-point plan:
• Create Women’s U21 and U23 national teams
• Expand access through regional talent ID and outreach
• Guarantee equal media promotion
• Introduce a national player support scheme
• Publish a measurable 5-year national equality plan
This is about opportunity, fairness, and Wales leading the way in women’s sport.
