Biggest Ever Football Session set to return
The flagship event will return ahead of International Women’s Day later this month
In collaboration with Barclays, we can confirm the details for this year’s Biggest Ever Football Session (BEFS), which will take place across schools up and down the country on Friday 7 March.
The flagship day in the calendar is central to our equal access in school ambition, and the 2025 edition will see a continuation of the hugely successful sessions that have taken place for the past four years and contributed to record-breaking increases in women’s and girls’ participation. Taking place the day before International Women’s Day, it will build on last year’s success which saw a record-breaking 475,000 girls from 5,000 schools across the country taking part.
The week after launching our new women and girls’ campaign, ‘Made For This Game’, this year’s Biggest Ever Football Session will still encourage schools up and down the country to get as many young girls playing football on the same day. In addition, for the first time, this year will also include interactive classroom-based sessions hosted at two showpiece locations, showcasing the various opportunities that are available within the sport, away from the pitch.
