Women and Girls to Watch England at Wembley Through New Circuit Hospitality Partnership
Written by Faye Hackwell
Females who have not attended a professional football fixture before will get an opportunity to watch England play at the Wembley Stadium, through Her Game Too’s new partnership with Circuit Hospitality.
Circuit Hospitality specialises in delivering hospitality experiences at top-level football matches and is supporting Her Game Too’s commitment to increasing female attendance at men’s football matches by providing free First Time Fans tickets, as well as funding for women’s and girls’ grassroots football initiatives.
In addition to offering a range of packages for Premier League fixtures and other events, Circuit Hospitality is an Official Ticket Agent for Wembley Stadium, offering executive level seating, restaurant hospitality and private boxes for events at the ground in north-west London.
Through Circuit Hospitality partnering with Her Game Too, more females will be able to experience their first ever football matches with First Time Fans, which launched last year and has already successfully introduced new groups of spectators to live football at Brentford, Brighton and Hove Albion, Swindon Town and Port Vale thanks to partners EA Sports.
At a First Time Fans event, Her Game Too Ambassadors meet the chosen group of applicants and lead them through a typical matchday experience in a welcoming, group environment; mums with children and individual women who haven’t felt comfortable attending matches alone before have been among those to take part.
Mark Kirton, Owner of Circuit Hospitality, said: “As the leading UK provider of football hospitality experiences, we are delighted to collaborate with Her Game Too.
“The sexist abuse often heard at the football is horrific; it creates a toxic environment that discourages participation and attendance, particularly among women and girls, and undermines the inclusivity that sport should promote.
“Circuit Hospitality team members Karen, Carole, Yvonne, Tui and Jessica have all have been instrumental in our success and growth, and we know how important it is that women feel safe attending football, and that hospitality remains a welcoming, safe, and inclusive space for all.
“As well as supporting Her Game Too in improving the matchday experience for women and girls, we also recognise the importance of growing the game from the grassroots level and we will be working closely with Her Game Too to support the growth of a fund that supports the 300+ women’s and girls’ teams at the local grassroots game.
“We hope that through this partnership we can make a real impact on the future of football.”
Caz May, Founder and CEO of Her Game Too, said: “”Her Game Too is delighted to partner with Circuit Hospitality.
“We are aware of the challenges women face working in the hospitality sector, particularly within the football environment, and this partnership allows us to build on those spaces, ensuring that women feel supported and empowered to report any incidents to Her Game Too or Women In Football.
“Additionally, both organisations will be exploring ways in which they can give back to the grassroots football community through this partnership.
“We are also thrilled to announce the expansion of our First Time Fans programme to England games at Wembley, giving women and girls the opportunity to experience their first England match in a safe and welcoming environment – something this partnership makes possible.
“We can’t wait to get to work with Circuit Hospitality, and start making even more of a meaningful difference for women and girls in football.”
Applications to attend the First Time Fans event at England vs Albania at 7.45pm on Friday, 21 March, are now open to females who have not attended a live professional football fixture before.
The game will be Thomas Tuchel’s first match in the dugout as England manager and the Three Lions will be seeking to get their World Cup 2026 qualifying campaign off to a winning start in front of a home crowd.
