A BIT ABOUT US...
Founded in May 2021, Her Game Too is a voluntary campaign led by a team of dedicated female football fans who are passionate about creating a positive change in football and the wider sporting world. We aim to raise awareness and educate others on the importance of inclusivity and diversity in sports.
Our ultimate goal is to create a safe and welcoming environment for everyone, regardless of their background, ability, or gender. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to participate in sports and have access to the same resources and opportunities.
At Her Game Too, we not only want to raise awareness, but also offer education to promote a safe and inclusive sporting culture. Our team is committed to driving positive change and making a real difference in the world of sports.

Join us in our mission to make sports accessible and inclusive for all.

TIMELINE
The growth of Her Game Too
MAY 2021
THE LAUNCH
On the 15th May 2021, we launched our Her Game Too campaign. We decided to post the video at 10am on the day of the FA Cup final and the response was incredible. Our video was viewed over 1 million times within the first 24 hours and we hit 6,000 followers on our brand new Twitter page within the first day. We were so pleased to see so many people listening to our important message and getting on board our campaign so quickly.

HOPE & GLORY PARTNERSHIP
On 25th May 2021 - we started working with the brilliant Hope & Glory sportswear who offered to design us a logo to represent our messaging. They came up with the concept of a football incorporated into the female gender symbol within a crowned shield - we instantly loved it and have used this going forwards. We then released official Her Game Too merchandise with Hope & Glory - with all profits going back into our organisation to support grassroots girls football.
