Burnley have become the 76th of the 92 Premier League and English Football League clubs to partner with Her Game Too. 


The Championship club, who are currently chasing promotion back to the top flight, is showing its support for the campaign’s ethos of football being a game for all.


With its ‘One Club for All’ philosophy, Burnley champion equality and diversity and aim to ensure that Turf Moor is a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone. 


With many Her Game Too partner clubs holding events to celebrate the campaign around International Women’s Day in March, Burnley will dedicate their league fixture against Luton Town on March 8 to Her Game Too.


The club will also work closely with Her Game Too’s Burnley Ambassador Charlotte Rigby to ensure Turf Moor provides a safe and inclusive environment for female fans.


Ann-Marie Bradley, Burnley FC’s Head of HR, said: “We are delighted to team up with Her Game Too. 


“We’ve been in discussions for some time now, as inclusivity and female empowerment in sport are areas of vital importance for us as a football club. 


“Alongside our commitment and investment in women’s football, we’ve introduced Safeguarding Stewards at our home games to support the safety and wellbeing of all fans and supporters, with a particular focus on the experience of women and girls. 


“We also recently conducted a female fan survey, which was sent to female season ticket holders, to gauge their thoughts and experiences of a matchday and find out where we can make improvements. 


“I’m excited to collaborate with the fantastic team at Her Game Too and look forward to raising awareness and educating our supporters on the importance of inclusivity and diversity in sport.” 


Burnley’s Her Game Too Ambassador Charlotte Rigby has supported her side since childhood and been a season ticket-holder for more than a decade.


She said: "As a life-long Burnley fan, I'm so excited to work alongside Her Game Too, our club and our amazing fans to tackle sexism within sport in order to make Turf Moor an inclusive, safe and welcoming space for everyone to enjoy football. 


“It's great to see the initiatives put in place by the Club already, following discussion with the female fan base, and I feel this is a great foundation to build upon when championing women in sport. 


“I'm looking forward to everybody getting involved with our dedicated fixture and hope fans will see the good work that the club and Her Game Too can achieve." 


Eve Ralph, Head of Education and Coaching at Her Game Too, said: “Her Game Too is thrilled to be teaming up with Burnley, a club that shares our passion for creating an inclusive, supportive environment. 


“Burnley's commitment to championing gender equality, whilst supporting and empowering women and girls, aligns perfectly with the core values of Her Game Too. 


“We are excited to see the impact of their future plans and look forward to working together to develop and maintain meaningful change to ensure football is a space for everyone to thrive.”
