Following the successful launch of Girls in Football Teams (GIFT) grants last year, the team will once again be supporting grassroots women’s and girls’ football during the 2021/22 season. GIFT want to give girls and women the opportunity to shine, and build leadership and teamwork skills which can be used on and off the pitch.

GIFT proudly sponsor 11 teams through the scheme last season and aim to build on this, providing as many opportunities to grassroots girls’ and women’s teams as they can.

• You must not have previously received a GIFT Grant
• You must be accredited by your country’s football association, for example as an FA Charter Standard Club, Scottish FA Quality Mark Award, Irish FA People and Clubs Accreditation or Welsh FA Club Accreditation.
• The funds must be used to support a girls’ or women’s football team.
• The club must be able to demonstrate a development pathway for girls, for example with a number of girls’/women’s teams through which girls can progress, or through a Wildcats centre.

• Display GIFT company logo on the team attire/website
• Provide a suitable photo for use in promotional materials
