      The Sun’s Footie For All campaign praised by Culture Secretary as £30m of NEW cash for grassroots football announced

      by

      THE Culture Secretary praised The Sun’s Footie For All campaign as she joined England’s Lionesses on the pitch to announce a multi-million cash boost for grassroots football. Lucy Frazer unveiled a £30 million venture to construct around 30 state-of-the-art 3G pitches across the country. 
      Political Correspondent Martina Bet talks to Culture Secretary Lucy FrazerCredit: Roland Leon
      We joined the Cabinet Minister at St George’s Park where she made the revelation to the Lionesses and told us how important it is to build more facilities, especially for women and girls. 
      Speaking to our political correspondent, Ms Frazer said she realised she had to do something to support the Lionesses’ legacy after seeing them “in action” at the World Cup.
      “I came back from Australia, thinking we have got to build on this, we can’t stop, we have got to go further, we have got to continue to support them”, she said.
      At every one of these new sites, there will be reserved peak-time slots, women and girls only evenings and priority booking for women and girls’ team.

      There will also be dedicated female changing rooms, shower facilities and accessible toilets.
      Ms Frazer said: “One of the main issues is that girls are put off by the fact that there’s nowhere to change and there’s nowhere to shower.”
      The Cabinet Minister also described the Sun’s Footie For All campaign and Fund as “complementary” to the Government’s cash injection.
      Our campaign is aimed at supporting grassroots youth football clubs impacted by the cost-of-living crisis and the fund, in collaboration with Tesco’s Stronger Starts programme, provides £150,000 in grants to assist clubs facing financial challenges.
      Ms Frazer said: “In life, generally, you can’t do things alone, the Government can’t do this alone. And we are combining with the sporting bodies to achieve our aims, with the Department of Education, the Department for health… and so The Sun’s campaign is is a complementary to that.
      “And it’s really important that we have football access for everyone and I’m a proud supporter of the Sun’s campaign.”
      In terms of where the new pitches will be located, Ms Frazer said it will be up to the Football Foundation to decide, adding: “They are already looking at potential sites and looking at a whole range of things and accessibility is absolutely one of them.

      “They have already started that work, because we want to make sure that these are delivered by 2024-25. And so that work has started already.”
      The Government is providing £25 million funding, with The Football Association contributing £5 million.
      The announcement comes ahead of the team’s crucial UEFA Women’s Nations League match against the Netherlands at Wembley Stadium on Friday.
      England’s FIFA World Cup 2023 Captain Millie Bright said: “We are really pleased to see the commitment towards this funding and the promise that this will be prioritised for the growth of women’s and girls’ football so whatever the motivation to play, there is a safe and accessible area for females to go to.”

      Alisha Lehmann dubbed a ‘class act’ for heartwarming gesture as she jumps off Aston Villa bus to hug fan in wheelchair

      Villa emerged triumphant as Rachel Daly’s injury-time strike sealed a 3-2 win at the Chigwell Construction Stadium.
      Lehmann, who came off the bench to help her side get the victory, is notorious for looking her best on and off the pitch.
      The former Hammers and Everton ace, who was previously dubbed “the world’s sexiest footballer”, recently dazzled her 16million Instagram followers in an elegant black outfit.
      And she also wowed fans in a swanky outfit as she enjoyed a night out on the town.

      But Lehmann also amassed a huge army of supporters for her displays out on the grass and has ten goals so far for Villa since joining two years ago.
      And as she arrived for action yesterday, one of those was desperate to meet her after waiting for the Villa team coach to arrive.
      Lehmann spotted the fan and walked straight over to enjoy a cuddle with them before grabbing her gear and heading for the changing-rooms.
      The supporter shared the footage on social media before it soon went viral, and they captioned it with: “When my favourite player comes off the coach and comes straight over to me.”

      As the clip was quickly shared by many, other supporters were quick to reply.
      “Class act,” read one response, with another saying: “Alisha is lovely, very kind.”
      “Absolutely lovely to see,” said another fan after seeing the heartwarming footage.
      “What a hero,” said another social media user as another added it was “brilliant”.
      Switzerland star Alisha recently found herself being trolled after she was criticised for wearing make-up during her country’s 7-1 defeat to Spain.
      TV presenter Vicki Blomme was one of those who jumped to her defence, comparing Lehmann wearing make-up on the pitch to Cristiano Ronaldo and David Beckham caring about their hair.
      She said on the Soccer Sisters podcast: “Yes, she plays with her sexuality, but they have done it many times.
      “Look at Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo. I think make-up and personal grooming are seen differently than if a boy does his hair.
      “A lot of people think it’s vanity, but it’s also feeling. The feeling of feeling confident and strong, there’s something to that. I think it’s good that we’re different and that we look however we want.
      “You take some of the attention away from football, but that’s how it happened also with Beckham. There is nothing wrong with playing football with make-up, we have to stop blaming them.”
