To mark International Women’s Day 2025, Berks & Bucks FA are hosting an event to celebrate the achievements of females in the game across our region.

The event will also provide a platform to highlight the importance of the continued support required to further the growth of females in football.

The event will be on IWD itself, Saturday 8th March, 6pm-9pm at the Select Car Leasing Stadium (Reading FC). We are delighted to be joined by our special guest host, Anita Abayomi. Anita is a freelance journalist, presenter and creator.

International Women's Day (IWD) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity. Significant activity is witnessed worldwide as groups come together to celebrate women's achievements or rally for women's equality.

Berks & Bucks FA are committed to improve the environment for females in football and to give more opportunities for females to be involved in the game as players, coaches, referees, volunteers and leaders.

We will be encouraging females & everyone across BBFA to attend with the evening being a celebration of female achievement plus the opportunity to network & engage and to talk about some of the barriers females face in the game.
