WOMEN’S EURO 2022

A Place at the Table



A Place At The Table is an interactive table football project that follows the history of women’s football both locally and in context to the national and international game. The aim of the project is to celebrate, inform and encourage involvement in women’s football. Each table will focus on a point in history that highlights the place of women in football, as well the parallels with the development of rights for women and wider society at the time.
