• Coach believes issue is central to improving inclusion
• ‘When it comes to the girls there are often no facilities’

A football coach has sparked a grassroots movement to improve inclusivity in football: by demanding that toilets are opened for girls.

A petition calling on the Football Association to “Mandate Toilet Facilities at All Youth Football Venues” has more than 28,000 signatures on Change.org, after Natalie Booth became frustrated by the absence of facilities for her local team.
