Crawley Town and Crawley Wasps football clubs have joined forces to make the sport more accessible to both men and women.
The partnership will include local initiatives such as encouraging fans to watch Crawley Town on Saturday and then Crawley Wasps on Sunday.
Crawley Wasps Chairman Jack Ayles said: “Crawley Wasps is one of the largest all female football clubs in the country, with our senior women’s team competing in the third tier of women’s football, the FA Women’s National league.
“Our ambition is to offer girls and women a safe and professional environment where they can flourish and achieve their dreams of becoming professional footballers. The women’s game presents a huge opportunity for business and brands, with a unique family friendly atmosphere which we have built a solid foundation on with the help of players, staff, parents, and the local community.
“We are very excited to be partnering with Crawley Town to ensure football is accessible and inclusive to the local community. Since I have been Chairman, we have always wanted to become more involved with Crawley Town as we know that working together on joint initiatives will benefit everyone involved.”
More details will be unveiled over the coming season.
