Sports Interactive to sponsor League Of Our Own

Founded by Josie Gray and Joanna Holmgren last year, League Of Our Own is an independent football league in South London for transgender women, LGBTQ+ and non-binary footballers to play together. 

The studio will be sponsoring their Player of The Week Award throughout the next year. The league’s second season sold out within 18 hours, with a total of 10 teams competing from April 12th. 

SI’s commitment goes beyond just sponsoring the award. Over the next 12 months, we’ll also be helping League Of Our Own to fund pitches, officials and insurance costs, supporting their work to keep football accessible and inclusive

Josie Gray, co-founder of League of Our Own said: "We’re really excited to be partnering with Sports Interactive.

“Football Manager is a huge part of football culture, and with the women's game being introduced to the game this year, it feels like the perfect time. Working together will help us bring more attention to our league and its purpose - to maintain inclusion in football since the FA ban on transwomen last year. 

“Our friends and teammates have been deeply affected by this ban but with the support from companies like SI, we can to continue to share our message of inclusivity, community and love for the game. We are really excited about what the next 12 months will bring.”
