Local MP supports better training and opportunities for women in football
Member of Parliament for Gillingham and Rainham, Rehman Chishti, attended Betfair’s ‘Fairer Game’ campaign event in the Houses of Parliament promoting better training and opportunities for women in football.
Commenting after the event, Rehman said:
“I was absolutely delighted to attend this event and make clear my support for better training and opportunities for women in football. Two young coaches at the event, Ellie and Carly, told me about Betfair’s fantastic initiative, which will see £50,000 allocated to training 50 women to allow them to receive a UEFA A coaching license.”
“They highlighted that of over 1,500 coaches in England, only a tiny percentage are women.”
“At the event, I championed the fact that we have a brilliant local women’s team in Gillingham Ladies FC - officially the best team in Kent!”
