'We have many talented female players of colour in our Women’s Super League. With more support and resources, we can get them to play at a national and global level.' ✍️ KeiraJournalist writes for MetroOpinion
playing on football League grounds for 50 years in 1921Since then, female athletes have had to fight tirelessly for resources, funding platforms and ultimately respect in the sporting world – and this week proved it was worth fighting for.
On the men’s Lions 27-man squad, there are 11 players of colour. In comparison, what kind of message are we sending young female players of colour when there are so few players in our national team who look like them? Expecting female players to train miles away from their home grounds isn’t good enough, and this is only making things more difficult for talented young female players of colour.
I had to seek out clubs to find a team. Once I did, it was difficult to keep up with training and matches that were usually out of London – which also meant I missed opportunities to play for scouts and professional club officials. Average travel times for me were over two hours, and some clubs had fees that I simply couldn’t afford.I relied on public transport and didn’t always have a family member who could accompany me.
