Despite the growing popularity of women's football, especially after England's Lionesses won the Euros in 2022, many women's teams still struggle to survive due to a lack of investment and institutional support compared with the men.
Former female players at Wakefield AFC expressed their frustration regarding the lack of support for the women's side, including inferior training facilities, minimal resources, and exclusion from team activities like kit launches.
Players from the disbanded Wakefield AFC women's side were left feeling neglected and marginalized, training on limited pitch space, using inadequate lighting, and being denied access to the main stadium while junior boys' teams received better provisions.
