Female Football Series 2019/20 Coming To Staffordshire
A fantastic opportunity for disabled female footballers is set to get underway in February in the form of the Female Football Series.
Following an agreed partnership between five County FAs, namely Birmingham, Leicestershire & Rutland, Staffordshire, West Riding and Sheffield & Hallamshire, two additional divisions for the 2019/20 season have been created. These divisions will see further fixtures added to the current disability league programme for adult females aged 16+.
The divisions will be split into Silver and Bronze categories, corresponding to the mobility and understanding of players within each team.
In all, there will be five fixture dates for teams to compete in between February and June, with all teams strongly encouraged to fulfil the full calendar of fixtures throughout the series. Should all five fixtures be attended, then the relevant teams will be rewarded with a county specific incentive from their County FA.
All matches will be of a five-a-side format, with each team allowed up to ten players in their matchday squad.
A list of all confirmed fixture dates and locations can be found below:
Saturday 15 February (12pm-3pm) – Indoor Dome at Aston Villa, Villa Park, Witton Road, B6 6QE
