'She Can Play' and PlayFootball have announced a five-year partnership and football training programme for girls across the UK; 'She Can Play' will target girls of all abilities between the ages of five and sixteen and will be led by FA qualified coaches.

The programme will start in early 2018 and be run in 16 PlayFootball centres around the UK in Birmingham, Blackpool, Bury, Colchester, Gillingham, London, Liverpool, Luton, Nottingham, Portsmouth, Preston, Romford, Southend, Swansea, Swindon and York.

Kat Clifton, founder of She Can Play said: "She Can Play has had a meteoric rise since the success of our team reaching the final of the FA People's Cup in 2016. Since then we have become official partners of Sport England's 'This Girl Can' campaign and delivered multiple sessions for young girls wanting to get into football. The partnership with PlayFootball represents the next stage of this journey, enabling us to develop our coaching offering and take it nationwide."

Richard Whitty, head of marketing at PlayFootball added: "The momentum behind girls' football at the moment is inspiring, and the Lionesses success in the Netherlands this year has been a big part of this. We're keen to ensure participation in this area of the sport continues to build."
