The Football Association has named Baroness Sue Campbell, the former chair of UK Sport, as its new head of women's football.

Baroness Campbell's appointment is made at a time when the sport is enjoying an upsurge in popularity after England's third-place finish at the 2015 Women's World Cup. She will take on the FA's drive to increase grassroots participation in girls' and women's football, with the goal of generating further success among the country's elite women's teams.
