Question reference: S4W-03555

Asked by: Patricia Ferguson, MSP for Glasgow Maryhill and Springburn, Scottish Labour
Date lodged: Monday, 24 October 2011
Current Status: Answered by Shona Robison on 7 November 2011

To ask the Scottish Executive how much funding it provides to women’s football.

The Scottish Government provides strong support to girls and womens football. In the three years from 2008-09, the Scottish Football Association (SFA) was awarded £2.535 million direct from the Scottish Government to deliver a wide range of football opportunities for boys and girls as part of the Cashback for Communities programme. This included £297,000 to specifically help support the womens game.

The SFA were awarded further funding of £3 million earlier this year, again through our Cashback for Communities Programme, to help further support a range of free football activities for young people, boys and girls, to benefit from. This includes £639,000 to support a network of six Girls’/Women’s development officers whose role it is to create and enhance further opportunities for girls and women to get involved in sport and football

The SFA receives funding from sportscotland to support the implementation of the development plan for womens football. The level of investment is an operational matter and I have asked the chief executive of sportscotland, Stewart Harris, to provide the detailed information requested.
