'Women's football has massive growth potential'
The Chelsea Ladies versus Notts County Ladies match today will be the first ever women's FA Cup final at Wembley, an event in which Chelsea captain Katie Chapman never imagined she would be participating, she told reporter Sara Orchard.
“Women’s football has progressed unbelievably,” she said.
The women’s game has 'massive growth potential', said Kelly Simmons, director of participation and development at the FA.
Alan Young, corporate affairs director of energy firm SSE, the FA Women’s Cup sponsor, said that the lack of women in businesses such as theirs needs to change to provide for ‘an economy and a society that succeeds in the long-term’.
The match today would be 'one of the proudest moments of my career’, said Chelsea manager Emma Hayes.
