England’s success at the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup captured the attention and hearts of the nation, before the EURO title winning successes of 2022 and 2025 have only helped further boost the women's and girls' game.

 
The Lionesses are focused on inspiring the next generation and creating a legacy – and we are here to foster that legacy.

We took over the running of the women’s game in 1993 and football is now the top participation sport for women and girls in England.

We hope you find all the information you need on the women’s and girls’ game in England and you can also learn more about the history of women's football in England.

If not, please do not hesitate to contact your local County FA as each County has a designated lead officer on women’s football.
