Women’s football has been around since 1895 but was banned in 1921 due to it being deemed unsuitable for women. It’s hard to believe that only 51 years ago women were allowed to start playing again.
Although women have been playing since 1971, over the last few years, it has grown off and on the pitch and now is getting the following and support it deserves. The Lionesses’ win at the Euros this year certainly bolstered this and exemplified that women should be playing and earning respect in football and that we need diversity and participation in the sport.
KDM Group has a passion for football which is apparent through our sponsorships and being the official partner of the Scottish Cup for the 2021/2022 season and recently the renaming of Dunfermline Athletic FC home ground to KDM Group East End Park.
When the opportunity arose for us to become a sponsor for Finchampstead Girls FC in Wokingham, Berkshire by supplying home and away strips to two teams we were thrilled to help support the team. Which has impressively grown from 5 members to just under 100 in 5 years.
As a diverse employer who actively seeks to break down barriers, we are now a proud sponsor for Finchampstead Girls FC for Under 11’s and 12’s and we hope to grow the relationship with the club in the coming months and years.
