Equal access to football for girls was the topic of a meeting between the prime minister of the United Kingdom and the England's women's soccer team.

The meeting comes after the English team signed an open letter to the Conservative leadership candidates.

The letter asked for girls to be allowed to play football.

Sue Campbell said that this is not a gesture from the players.

The FA's director of women's football, who was present at Monday's meeting, said that they were just as determined to make this happen as they were on the field.

England won the European Women's Championship after beating Germany in the final.

The letter was sent to the prime minister and Sunak to make it a priority to invest in girls' football in schools.

The team highlighted in the letter that only 63% of girls can play football in PE lessons, according to a Football Association (FA) campaign published last year.

The education minister will meet the England captain and the other person in November.

Williamson and Wubben-Moy are very clear that this is something they care about and they want to see it happen.

The United States was defeated by England at Wembley on Friday.
