Coach believes issue is central to improving inclusion
‘When it comes to the girls there are often no facilities’

A football coach has sparked a grassroots movement to improve inclusivity in football: by demanding that toilets are opened for girls.

A petition calling on the Football Association to “Mandate Toilet Facilities at All Youth Football Venues” has more than 28,000 signatures on Change.org , after Natalie Booth became frustrated by the absence of facilities for her local team.
