The football governing body hopes to achieve this with three national host city goals. They want equal access for all girls to play football in schools and clubs. They also want a diverse workforce of coaches, referees and local leaders delivering and organising football for their communities. And they want inclusive, safe and welcoming environments for every woman and girl to play competitive or recreational grassroots football, irrespective of ability, age or ambition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>They are hoping to provide more than 500,000 new football opportunities. These include 300 new FA-qualified female coaches which is double the current number in host cities as well as 1,000 women and girls completing the entry-level FA Playmaker Award.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_39448\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39448\" class=\"wp-image-39448 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/awesome-shockley.77-68-72-77.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/sheffield_united_v_brighton_hove_albion_-_premier_league-300x169.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-39448\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sheffield United&#8217;s stadium.
