A protest took place outside Wembley Stadium against the FA's transgender inclusion policy, triggered by the ban of a teenage girl for perceived transphobia during a match.
One protester stated, "It's a basic fairness and safety issue. This is a contact sport and those male players that have been through male puberty, they've got physical advantage."
The FA ruled on the case because gender reassignment is protected under the Equality Act 2010, leading to the girl's ban for discriminatory remarks made during a match.
Former FA chairman Lord Triesman raised concerns about the policy’s implications in the House of Lords, highlighting the ongoing debate about fairness in women’s sports.
