TALENT INCLUSION PROGRAMME TO HELP BOOST
THE NEXT GENERATION OF LIONESSES
Thousands of young women and girls
from across the country will have the
opportunity to walk in the footsteps of
the Lionesses, following an expansion
of a programme between the EFL Trust
and The FA.
The Talent Inclusion Programme helps
identify talented female participants from
all parts of the community and will now
be run across 54 EFL clubs. The aim of
the programme is to ensure social class,
ethnicity and demographics are not a
barrier to success.
The programme aims to create a
pathway for young women and girls from
local communities, no matter what their
background, to full England Women’s
honours with EFL clubs encouraged to
develop tailored activity based on their
local area. Those that show promise
can then referred into The FA Women’s
England Talent Pathway and their progress
will be monitored.
In the last two years, 32 EFL clubs who
are already taking part in the programme
have made 123 referrals to the FA
Women’s England Talent Pathway:
One of those referrals has been called
up to represent England Women at
Under 15s.
19% are continuing to be monitored with
two already on national talent camps
34% of players referred are from low
social economic communities
16% of players referred are from an
ethnically diverse background
