Arseblog - an in-depth look at Arsenal Women’s lack of ethnic diversity
This is a good long read on the issues around diversity in Women’s football in England, and puts the recent furor over the Arsenal squad photo in context. I am once again in awe of Alex Scott for how she’s managed to thrive in spite of the barriers she’s had to push past.
I do like that Hale End had their own thing where the employees do a bit of groundwork themselves. I’ve also read about how tech is playing a role in it where aspiring footballers can upload their stuff on to scouting networks. That should be made more accessible.
That would certainly help with the scouting of players, but the bigger issue is getting kids into organized games and coaching in the first place.
