BEHIND SPORT MEETS... POLLY BANCROFT
4 July 2022
For their pledge to Women in Football's #GetOnside campaign, content specialists Behind Sport decided to run a series of interview features on the women behind the UEFA Women's EURO 2022 tournament.
The first of these features Polly Bancroft, General Manager for women's and girls' football at Brighton & Hove Albion FC – one of the clubs hosting WEURO 2022 matches and a corporate member of Women in Football.
Polly said: "The last time England hosted the Euros was in 2005 so I think having a comparison 17 years apart will be really interesting. I’m just really excited to see what that tournament looks like now and to show the growth and development in the women’s game over that period of time.
"I’m excited to see full stadia, with packed audiences that are knowledgeable about the game and are really enthused about watching more women’s football after the tournament. We really hope that lots of people come and transition into watching the Women’s Super League, the Women’s Championship, and all levels of women’s football for seasons to come."
