Your voice, our future! The Women in Football 2026 annual survey

The time has come to make your voice heard once again. Be part of the largest football industry workforce survey, giving you the platform to share your experiences and help us shape the future of the game.

Your insights help us celebrate what's working well, highlight trends, and advocate for change where change is needed. The survey results directly influence policymakers, employers, and governing bodies across the game.

Each year, this survey gathers critical data on the experiences of people working and volunteering in football. Looking into areas such as job security, visibility, and discrimination, we use this data to track progress and drive tangible action across the game. Plus, you could win a free place at our upcoming Be Inspired Conference simply for taking part.

Last year's Women in Football survey results were reported widely. Our fifth annual industry workforce survey results, highlighted three indisputable realities for those working in the game:

  • Discrimination is persistent and widespread

  • Systems for reporting discrimination are ineffective

  • Workplace culture is a significant barrier – a factor recognised by more than two thirds of male respondents 

That’s why it’s vital we understand what working in football truly looks like for women. The Women in Football annual survey gives us critical insight — not only to celebrate progress, but to highlight where change is still urgently needed. We use this data to ensure women’s voices are heard and represented in the rooms where decisions are made, to lobby for change, and to help the industry build solutions that make football more inclusive for all women working in the game.
