Spotlight on France

More and more women and girls play football in France

Issued on:

The 24 teams that will compete in the 2016 European football championships in France in June are all men's teams. Football in France has long been a man's game: women were only officially recognised as players in 1975. But over the last decade there has been a push to get more girls and women involved in the sport. RFI spends time with a team in Paris and looks at the state of women's football in France today.
