Powerleague Cardiff's campaign celebrates women in football
Powerleague Cardiff has launched She's Got Game in response to research showing that 46 per cent of women and girls in the UK have felt judged or excluded for wanting to play football.
The initiative aims to celebrate, support, and promote female players across Wales and the UK.
Christian Rose, CEO of Powerleague, said: "This survey confirms what we've long believed, that women and girls in Cardiff and across the UK are not only passionate about football, but ready to play.
"Yet too many still face barriers that simply shouldn't exist.
"At Powerleague, we're committed to breaking those down by creating inclusive, welcoming spaces where everyone can thrive, no matter their background or ability.
"Football should be for everyone, and we're proud to be part of the movement making that a reality."
The campaign also includes a competition inviting women and girls to share their football skills and favourite moments.
Entrants will receive a free off-peak five-a-side pitch voucher and the chance to win one-to-one coaching with freestyle footballer Shannon Ghee.
Powerleague Cardiff will also screen live matches throughout the UEFA Women's Euros, offering fans a safe place to gather while encouraging new audiences to take part in the game.
Shannon Ghee said: "Football has given me confidence, community, and so much joy, and I want every girl and woman to feel that too.
"She's Got Game is about celebrating skill, creativity, and passion, no matter your level.
"Whether you're just starting out or have been playing for years, this is your moment to have fun, and show the world what you've got.
"I encourage everyone across Cardiff to have a go at a trick, or share their favourite football bit, this summer."
