The number of women experiencing discrimination in the football industry is continuing to rise, according to a survey by the group Women in Football

The number of women experiencing discrimination in the football industry is continuing to rise, according to new data. The latest survey conducted by the group Women in Football found that 89% of women working in the game have experienced discrimination in the workplace, up from 82% in 2023 and 66% four years ago.

“Everyone knows that gender discrimination happens in football, but the problem isn’t just that it happens,” said Women in Football’s chief executive, Yvonne Harrison. “There’s an even bigger problem around how football deals with it. When gender discrimination happens, many women don’t feel they can report it, and when they do report it, too often no action is taken. Women deserve better.
