Within the last century, English womenâs football has gone from being banned pre 1921 to the National team being crowned 2022 European with record-breaking attendance, demonstrating a significant rise in its popularity. In this study, the perceptions of four women's football fans aged 20-22 were explored. using semi-structured interviews lasting 30-37 minutes. Braun and Clarkeâs (2006) six-stage framework on thematic analysis was adopted to inspect the transcribed interviews, generating 21 codes that were underpinned by 3 main themes. The three main themes analysed were the âpopularityâ, âaccessibilityâ and âstereotypesâ with findings indicating that womenâs football is becoming more popular and normalised. Participants identified football as âentertainingâ, especially in the younger generation. Whilst, there is still stereotyping and traditional beliefs of female football within society, the results demonstrated that perceptions of womenâs football have positively changed, increasing opportunities for younger and older females in schools and communities. This study supports the growing body of research across womenâs sport, aiming to develop acceptance and engagement from all, around females playing the great game of football.
