Sports Direct are to donate free footballs to grassroots clubs through their ‘Equal Access’ campaign, after growing calls for more opportunities for girls.
The pledge was officially launched today via an event with Girls United, who became the first grassroots club to receive a donation of footballs along with valuable equipment. Modern game trailblazers, Emma Hayes and Fara Williams, were both on hand to visit the club and deliver the balls, whilst offering their own advice to help inspire the next generation.
