Gender Equality

Gender equality isn’t optional—it’s essential. Women must be present and have a clear and strong voice at every level of the game, from the pitch to the boardroom. Our Gender Equality pillar drives action to break barriers, amplify female leadership, and ensure equal opportunities across football.
