Introduction This year 2013 has been a great year for women s football. The UEF Women s EURO, which was held in Sweden, featured top-quality football and broke attendance records, with a total of more than 200,000 spectators attending matches. s the sport grows in popularity, things are rapidly changing within UEF s national associations, and there have been many positive developments within the sport. The Gibraltar Football ssociation has now joined UEF and the European football family. This has increased the number of national associations by one, bringing the total to 54, and will hopefully bring even more to the world of women s football. s women s football grows and experiences increased attention, it is interesting to look at statistics indicating the situation in the individual national associations, as well as figures showing the status of European women s football as a whole. This report compiles information from the national associations to give a clearer picture of the state of women s football today, showing where development has been seen and where further growth is possible. s this report is a compilation of data collected from the football associations that make up the UEF football family, UEF would like to thank all associations for the information they have provided. Introduction 3

1 Registered female players Total number of registered players 2012/13 1,159,814 2013/14 1,162,314 The number of registered players* has increased by 0.2% relative to last season. lthough this is a small increase, in practice it means that an additional 2,500 registered players are now playing women s football in Europe. For participation in non-organised football, the numbers are even higher, as presented in section 9. s regards the distribution of players, it is clear that there are some countries where the sport is well-established and others where the sport is still developing. There are seven countries where the sport is in a particularly strong position, with over 60,000 registered players (ENG, FR, GER, NED, NOR, SWE and TUR), while there are 17 countries with 1,000 registered players or less. The latter is down considerably on last season, when there were 22 countries with 1,000 or less, showing that countries with potential are developing. In terms of the categories on the map, there are 11 countries that have gone up a category relative to last season (ZE, BEL, BLR, CRO, FR, HUN, ISR, KZ, POL, ROU and WL), while Denmark is the only one to drop to a lower category. * Registered player: player whom the association has on record as actively playing football on a regular basis. 1 Registered female players 6

When seen as a percentage of the total populations of these countries, as shown on this page, the figures paint a different picture. w, countries such as ND, FRO and ISL show much higher levels of participation. The percentages are small, but looking at the figures in relative (rather than absolute) terms provides a better picture of the development of women s football in Europe. In terms of the categories on the map, there are 11 countries that have gone up a category relative to last season (ND, RM, ZE, BUL, ESP, HUN, LIE, NED, NIR, ROU and SRB), while Montenegro and Slovenia have dropped to a lower category. s regards overall numbers of registered players, these might be affected by the different registration systems within the individual associations. It should be noted that the number of registered players for Germany has been calculated by multiplying the number of registered teams by 20, as German data on the number of registered players refers to members of clubs, not active players. 1 Registered female players 7

Total number of registered female players 2 The growth of women s football The diagrams on the next page show that most of the national associations have achieved great growth over the last five years in terms of the total number of registered female players. Growth is shown first in percentage terms and then in absolute terms. Once again, the percentage increases provide a more accurate picture of the development of women s football in the individual associations, but the absolute figures can also provide valuable information. For example, with just 40 registered players in 2008, it is easier for ndorra to record a large percentage increase than it is for rway, which had 107,500 registered players in 2008. 1,400,000 1,200,000 1,000,000 In percentage terms, Romania (511%) and Kazakhstan (446%) have seen the largest increases over the last five years, while in absolute terms, Turkey (46,353) and the Netherlands (11,734) lead the way. s the number of registered players keeps increasing, so does the amount of resources dedicated to women s football. The total amount of money invested in the sport is almost three times higher than it was last season. Here, England has played a major role with its new Game Changer strategy, which seeks to increase investment and attract more funding for women s football. In the report, there are small diagrams in the top right-hand corner comparing data collected this season with data for last season. ll of these figures are higher for the 2013/14 season than they were for the 2012/13 season, which supports the notion that there has been a further progression within women s football in Europe. It should be noted that one additional national association (Gibraltar) has joined UEF, which may affect these figures to a certain extent. This mainly applies to data referring to the number of national associations.,800,000.,600,000.,400,000.,200,000..,,0 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 2005 2010 2015 Year 2 The growth of women s football 8

Of these, 28 have promotion and relegation, ten have a closed structure, and ten have more than one league and use both of these structures. Most of these national leagues are run in the summer season, taking place from around pril to vember. Looking at professional players* within these associations, the diagram below shows that there are 32 associations that claim to have professional players. Most of these play in their respective national top divisions, but RM, BEL, BUL, CZE, GRE, ISR, LV, MKD and SUI do not have any professional players playing in their own leagues.

Measuring the number of registered teams* comes with complications, since some national associations do not register all teams in a formal way, and some do not separate the teams into youth and senior teams. When looking at the number of teams registered for this season, the total number of senior teams within UEF s 54 national associations is 25,313, while for youth teams the figure is 21,285. These teams are unevenly distributed across the national associations, with Germany and rway together accounting for 52% of all registered senior teams. The situation is very similar for youth teams, with Germany and England accounting for 50% of all teams. The total number of clubs* with women s teams within the national associations is 69,533. s with the teams, most of the clubs are located in a few countries, and here Germany and rway account for 80% of all clubs. The number of clubs has increased by 2,812 since last season. It is important to note that these are not all purely women s clubs: some are mixed clubs with both male and female players. *Team: group of players forming one side in a competitive game and seeking to achieve a common goal. *Club: sports organisation comprising active and non-active members that is affiliated to a football association and seeks, above all, to promote and develop football. 3 11

28% Club licensing 72% This year there are 15 national associations that have a club licensing* system for women s football (UT, BEL, BUL, CZE, DEN, ENG, ESP, FIN, GER, IRL, KZ, NOR, SCO, SVN and SWE), down one from last season. These licensing systems typically apply to the country s highest division. The associations operating a licensing system have changed slightly since last season: EST, MNE and SUI have sets of criteria in place, but can not be considered as club licensing systems, while Kazakhstan and Slovenia have implemented club licensing systems for the first time. s regards adult players, eleven countries have 10,000 or more registered female players over the age of 18, while a total of 15 countries have more than 5,000. In terms of the categories on the map, there are six countries that are a category higher than they were last season (BEL, BLR, FRO, MLT, RUS and SRB), while UT, ESP and LUX have dropped to a lower category. *Club licensing: set of standards and procedures to which football clubs are required to adhere. 3 12

The most common form of support is training and education, followed by financial support. ll national associations gives some kind of support to their clubs, and the category other includes help with transport, registration fees and officials costs. These different types of support are all important for the maintenance and development of clubs within women s football. The fact that the most common form of support is training and education is a positive sign, since this creates long-term gains by enhancing knowledge and encouraging the development of skills within clubs. Relations between the national associations and their women s clubs are regarded as good or excellent in most cases, with only 15% of associations describing relations as average and none regarding them as poor. This is a good sign in terms of strengthening the foundations of the sport, as clubs play an important role in the growth of women s football. s participation in football is dependent on opportunities to participate, it is interesting to see that the average distance to a local club is 20km or more for 52% of national associations. If the number of clubs with women s teams keeps increasing, as it has this season, that distance will hopefully come down, since having more clubs will hopefully result in shorter distances for players to travel. These numbers also reflect the fact that clubs in developing nations focus their efforts on the capital cities, so many of the clubs are there. 24% 15% 61% Rating of relationship between national associations and their women s clubs verage Good Excellent 10% 19% 6% 9% 4% 52% verage distance to local club 20km or more 16-19km 11-15km 6-10km 2-5km 1km or less 4 National associations and clubs 13

The number of registered players under the age of 18 has increased by 77,671 since last season, a rise of 12%. This could be the result of 21 of the 54 national associations having marketing strategies in the area of grassroots football. nother factor could be the fact that 41 of the associations have an overall strategy for the development of women s football (as presented in sections 9 and 14). In terms of the categories on the map, there are seven countries that are one category higher than last season (ZE, BUL, KZ, NIR, POL, ROU and SRB), while Italy and Slovenia have dropped to a lower category. Most of the associations have tournaments and competitions for girls, while girls football is included in the school curriculum in 26 of the countries. By including girls football in school activities, a large number of girls can be reached at the same time to promote women s football. 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 28 32 26 22 4 50 Inclusion in the Links between Tournaments and school curriculum schools and clubs competitions 5 Girls and youth football 14

In LB, BIH, ESP, GRE, ROU and SRB there are no leagues for any of the categories. FYR Macedonia only has leagues for mixed football, and RM, FIN, GEO, HUN, ISL, LTU, LUX, MNE, NOR, SMR, SVK, SWE and UKR only have leagues for girls football. Looking at the distribution, it is clear that most girls football leagues are at 13 and 15 level, while most leagues for mixed football are at 11 level. Girls league in age category girls league in age category Mixed league in age category mixed league in age category On average, mixed football is played until the age of 14, and it is played in 39 of the national associations. Of these associations, there are five that have no age limit for mixed football (RM, DEN, FRO, NIR and POL) and five that have no leagues for mixed football (RM, FIN, GRE, HUN and SMR). There are 204 girls leagues and 196 mixed leagues, making a total of 400 leagues where girls can play football. This represents an increase of 103 leagues relative to last season. 5 Girls and youth football 15

Number of associations with national teams 6 National team football 50 Last season, there were three national associations that had no national team representing them (ND, LIE and SMR); this year, only ndorra is still in this position. Of UEF s 54 national associations, 47 have a national senior women s team; only ND, RM, ZE, GIB, LIE, MD and SMR do not. s regards national youth teams, last season there were six associations that had no national youth teams representing them (LB, ND, RM, LIE, LUX and SMR). LB, RM, LIE, LUX and SMR have established national youth teams in the last 12 months, with ND being the only association without a women s youth team in any age category. Most national associations have youth teams at 17 and 19 level. This is because UEF offers annual European competitions for these age categories through the UEF European Women s 17 and 19 Championships. Eleven national associations have invested resources in girls football academies as part of their elite player pathways.

Number of national associations where women referee matches 7 Female referees With 26 of the 54 national associations having programmes aimed at developing and recruiting female referees, this area has seen great progress since last season. The number of female referees with qualifications administered by FIF and the various national associations has increased by 40% since last season, with Germany at the top with a total of 2,597 qualified female referees and Italy in second place with 1,637. The national associations programmes for the development and recruitment of female referees include seminars, training courses and specific recruitment campaigns, all aimed at female referees. For example, Serbia has developed a two-day seminar where the referees gather to watch matches from the previous season, analysing them and being given guidelines for the coming season. This two-day seminar also involves knowledge tests, physical testing, and information on new practices and innovations within refereeing. total of 50 of the national associations have female referees refereeing men s matches. Most of these referees officiate in men s amateur leagues, followed by the men s third division. Compared with last season, the graph below is very similar in terms of distribution, but the number of associations with female referees is higher this season for every category. For example, the number of associations with female referees active in the men s top division has increased from 11 to 13. The overall number of qualified referees this season is significantly higher than last season. This can be explained by the absence of data for Germany in the previous report. 50 40 30 20 10 0 13 Men's top division 25 29 25 Men's second division Men's third division Men's fourth division 35 Men's amateur league 44 Women's top division LIE ND SMR GIB GEO FRO MD MLT BLR RM BEL MNE GRE LUX LB LV ISR SVN ZE UKR WL MKD CYP NIR ESP SVK RUS KZ EST FR LTU UT POR NED BUL CRO SWE CZE IRL BIH DEN SRB NOR SUI POL SCO TUR HUN ISL FIN ROU ENG IT GER 0 0 2 3 4 5 6 7 7 8 8 8 9 9 10 11 11 12 15 16 16 19 19 20 22 25 25 26 26 27 27 31 34 35 37 47 49 50 53 60 64 69 48% 93 96 103 104 141 160 176 52% Qualified female referees 2012/2013 2013/2014 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 Number of registered female referees 219 4,182 365 882 1637 2597 7,505 Development and recruitment programmes 7 Female referees 18

The most common areas for such strategies are development and competition. The category other includes areas such as broadcasting, governance, talent development and education. Development strategies can be very important, since their implementation has a considerable impact on the return on investment in women s football. While it is good for the sport that lots of effort is being put into development and competitions, marketing and communication are also important in building interest and creating awareness of women s football. This is touched on again in sections 14 and 15. Overall participation in women s and girls football is even higher than the number of registered players, with a total of 1,726,976 participants being reported by the associations. However, there is no data on participation from GER, GIB, IT, LUX, SUI, SVN or SWE. s Germany and Sweden have some of the highest numbers of registered players, the lack of data from these countries probably makes the total a considerable underestimation. The diagram below shows the breakdown of registered female and male players within the national associations. It is not at all unexpected that male players dominate. t youth level, the ratios tend to be a little more even than for senior players, but there are still far more registered boys than girls.

The chart shows how much of their resources the national associations allocate to women s football. There are 29 associations that have increased their budgets for women s football this season, while 13 have reduced the amount of resources put into women s football. s these are budgets, they represent the maximum amount that the association can spend, not what is actually spent on women s football. s last season, England retains its leading position, as its budget has increased strongly this year to stand at over 14 million, following its new Game Changer strategy (as presented in section 2). The lowest budget is that of the national association of Ukraine, which has allocated 63,900 to women s football this season. The green and red arrows above the logos of the national associations indicate whether the budget has been increased (green) or decreased (red). 10 Finances 21

The average distribution of the budgets for women s football is shown in the top chart on the right. The largest categories are operation of national teams and grassroots development, and the smallest are development of female referees and development of female coaches. The category other includes many different areas, such as volunteer development, marketing, amateur football, competitions, talent development and league development. The national associations financial statements for 2012 were collected and compiled in the chart below in order to obtain an overview of the main costs for the associations within women s football. With 34%, the development of women s football is clearly the largest individual cost, while security for the women s senior team has the lowest percentage of all the costs presented in the chart. In the last five years, the amount of money spent on these costs within women s football has increased by 10,888,000. In the 2013/14 season, a total of 11,783,000 has been invested in the operation of women s senior national teams across all national associations, and 6,090,000 has been spent on the development of women s football. 10% 10% 10% 10% 10% 10% 40% Budget distribution Salaries National senior team operations Operations of other national teams Girls grassroots/women's youth development Development of female referees Development of female coaches Other * data available for ZE, BEL, GER, GIB, IT, LUX, SUI, SVN or WL. There were only nine associations that shared information about their revenue for 2012: BEL, ESP, EST, FIN, FR, IRL, ISL, RUS and SVN. Judging from the information given by these associations, the biggest source of revenue is broadcasting rights for the women s senior national team. Overall, the budgets of the national associations are larger this year than ever before. The average budget for women s football is 1,161,524, and while some associations have reduced their budgets or kept them the same as last season, most of the associations have increased investment in women s football. The distribution of the budgets and the overview of the costs within women s football both show that development is an area where large amounts of resources are being invested (something that applies to all types of development). This is positive for the future of women s football, and in the context of the big increases in overall budgets, UEF hopes to see great progress in the coming years. 34% 1% 2% 24% 18% 21% Costs Technical and development: women's senior team Travel: women's senior team ccomodation: women's senior team Stadium rent: women's senior team Security: women's senior team Women's football development * data available for ZE, CRO, ENG, GER, GIB, LIE, LTU, MD, POR or SWE. 10 Finances 22

This is 12% of the total number of committee members at UEF. The UEF Women s Football Committee plays a key role and fosters the development and progression of women s football in general, as well as the development of women s competitions. There are 13 women and three men on the committee. The UEF Women's Football Committee: a) exchanges views on current issues in women's football, particularly the UEF women's competitions and women's international calendar, including coordination with FIF competitions; b) draws up recommendations regarding possible modifications to the existing competitions and the regulations governing these competitions, as well as regarding the implementation of development programmes for women's football; c) assists in the process of selecting host associations for the final rounds of women s competitions; d) assists with the programme content for women's football conferences and courses; e) monitors the UEF European Women's Championship, the UEF Women's Champions League, the UEF European Women's 19 Championship, the UEF European Women's 17 Championship and the European qualifying competition for the FIF Women's World Cup; f) assists with defining draw principles and monitors the preparation and conducting of draws; g) makes recommendations on the international calendar, including proposals for the coordination of UEF and FIF national team competitions.

For the national associations, campaigns on YouTube are the second most common, while for the countries top leagues, Twitter is the second most used. While some of the campaigns are mostly a tool to communicate news and information about the association or the clubs, some of the campaigns aim to promote women s football and various projects. For example, Scotland s top league has started a campaign on Twitter whereby one person from each club in the league has been identified as an ambassador and now uses Twitter to promote women s football. s social media are becoming a bigger and bigger part of the communication and marketing of everything from business to sport, it is good that women s football is following these trends and using these various tools to communicate with the general public. In fact, women s football is taking the lead within the world of sport with its creative use of social media. There are 12 national associations that do not run any social media campaigns, while the equivalent figure for the countries top leagues is 23.

Support for women s football differs between national associations, as shown on the left. Germany and France have by far the highest attendance figures at matches, while smaller associations such as GIB, LIE, LTU and SMR have very low attendance levels. When looking at support, it is clear that the national teams matches are significantly more popular than the top league matches. Most of the national associations promote their matches and try to increase attendance. These promotional measures include advertising through print media, websites, social media, TV and radio. Some also provide free tickets to schools, clubs and teams. Eleven of the national associations have a specific person in charge of marketing women s football, and 30 of them have a marketing strategy of some kind. The most common type of strategy involves seeking to boost participation in grassroots football which can, if successful, have a very positive impact on the future growth of women s football. For some of the national associations, these strategies are still under development, and for some they are not specific to women s football, being used by the national association to promote both men s and women s football. s mentioned in section 9, the implementation of such strategies can be key in terms of the return on the investment made in women s football. Marketing, which has an important role to play in the growth and development of the sport, has the potential, through a well-planned and managed strategy, to strongly increase interest in the sport, as well as boosting revenue by increasing participation and attendance levels at matches.

The charts on this page show that, as with support and attendance levels (presented in section 14), national team matches are the most popular type of material, both on television and digitally. There are 12 national associations where women s football is not shown either on television or online: LB, ND, RM, BEL, BIH, CRO, LIE, LTU, MKD, SMR, SVK and TUR. 16 Television and digital media 29

The entry entitled refers to matches outside women s football. Budgets presented in currencies other than euros may have altered slightly as a result of changes to exchange rates. Information on the number one team sport in the country is based on data gathered for previous reports. The UEF coefficients/rankings were calculated on 26 October 2012, after the play-off matches for the UEF Women s EURO 2013. Population data has been taken from the CI factbook website and the UK government s statistical website. The number of teams in the top league is higher than the number of registered teams in Liechtenstein. This is a result of them playing in the league of Switzerland. For the number of women with, B or licence in Sweden, there are no up to date numbers for registered B licences, and therefore the number only includes and licences. List of abbreviations verage 33
