The ESFA have seen an increase in entries into girls’ football competitions this season and hope that this all-girl event will be a fantastic way to showcase the talent firmly rooted within England’s schools’ football system. The ESFA are hoping to be able to attract an enthusiastic crowd to help cheer the teams on throughout the day.

Darren Alcock, ESFA National Competitions Manager said “˜The atmosphere in the stadium makes all the difference to the players on the pitch and whilst we do all we can to create a fantastic match-day experience for them, we rely on supporters and the public to create a real buzz around the Final. Schools from the local area will be invited to attend, with special discounted rates of entry and AFC Fylde season ticket holders can also claim free entry for the match. We hope to welcome along as many spectators as possible to enjoy the event’

Entry will be charged on arrival at Mill Farm at a rate of £4/adult and free of charge for all students under 18. Hospitality packages for the event  are available to purchase and via the ESFA Event page.

The ESFA are delighted that, for the third season, all National Finals will once again be streamed live online via the ESFA YouTube channel – meaning those supporters who are unable to make the event can still keep up with all the action live and direct to their mobile device.
