“We’re delighted to support The FA in setting up these centres, helping to deliver high quality coaching sessions across the country to the next generation of female footballers.”

“At SSE we are extremely proud to be a fundamental part of supporting the grassroots game. This is a key reason for our sponsorship of the SSE Women’s FA Cup, not only are we focussed on achieving greater awareness of the sport at an elite level, equally as important we are creating more opportunities and relentlessly encouraging more girls to get involved in football.”

Adam Lowthorpe ’s CEO added:

“This exciting opportunity is a key part of our strategy to increase the number of girls playing football. With the Lionesses enjoying a huge amount of success and local clubs working hard to develop teams for the East Riding Girls League, the introduction of SSE Wildcats Girls’ Football Clubs means it’s never been a better time for girls to start playing football.”
