FOOTBALL Maggie Murphy Equality and accountability This month Lewes FC will welcome a new General Manager, and she seems the perfect fit. Maggie Murphy is passionate about equality in football, and she speaks at least in part from personal experience. “Why do we, as girls and women, struggle to play the most popular game in the world?” Maggie grew up on the Isle of Wight. At thirteen, she started playing football – but she had to travel twice a week to the mainland to do so. “I had to have parents who would support me, and pay for me to travel.” She went on to Oxford University – where she captained the University team. “I played week in, week out, won awards, played varsity matches – but not once did I ever play on the main Oxford University pitch”, she says. Maggie has lived and worked all over the world – Tanzania, Rwanda, Germany, the Netherlands. “I’ve always found a women’s football team to join, wherever I’ve gone,” she says. “But there’ve also always been barriers. It’s not just about pay. We’re always given the bad pitches, hand-medown kit, the worst referees in the game. Girls’ parents have to pay more and travel further.” Maggie is Director of Communications at the aptly-named Equal Playing Field (EPF). “Two years ago, we broke the Guinness World Record for playing a football match at the highest altitude ever. Thirty women from 20 different countries climbed Mt Kilimanjaro, and played a game on the summit. Last year we broke the record for football match played at the lowest altitude – in the Dead Sea basin in Jordan. “This year, to coincide with the Women’s World Cup, we want to show how diverse women’s football is. We’re going for the record number of players in a single game, hoping to include 3,000 players in a 5-day game, from June 27th to 1st July.” Maggie’s career to date has been in human rights and accountability. She’s worked for the Sport Integrity Global Alliance, Transparency International, and Amnesty. Football has always been a hobby, on the side. But with the Lewes job, the two come together, she says. “There isn’t another football club where I’d want to work”, she says, “but Lewes is a club with a big personality. The equality work it’s already done is great, but that’s not all. It’s also quite clear the community side of the club is very strong. There seems to be a symbiotic relationship between club and community. “I believe sport does have the potential to change people’s lives for the good – but too often money and power lead to decisions being made that are not for everyone. Accountability is key. You only need to look at the world of politics today to see the disconnect between decisions being made in our name, and any real willingness to listen.” So, is she moving towns too? “Yes, in July I’m moving down from London. And am excited to be doing so. To do a good job in a club like Lewes I think I need to be in the town… ” Welcome, Maggie. Charlotte Gann 97
