Football has the highest participation levels of any team sport in Wales, and I think the game's popularity will only continue to grow. But we've got to manage that growth, because otherwise it’ll grow in a lopsided way. So, naturally, there'll be more boys and men playing, unless we create the bespoke conditions for girls and women to play too.
Football is everybody's game, and everyone should reap the health and social benefits it brings. That means not only opening the door to young girls, but also those with disabilities, or black and minority ethnic groups, who may not be as well represented, especially at the top levels of the professional game.
In conjunction with this, we want the sport to become more sustainable, particularly environmentally, implementing green policies that help to futureproof the sport and tie in with Wales’ forward-thinking Future Generations Act.
