Mansfield Town are delighted to announce a new partnership with Her Game Too – which aims to raise awareness of sexist abuse within the realms of football – an affiliation which will officially launch when Stags’ Ladies take on Notts County on Sunday 18 September at One Call Stadium (2pm kick-off).
The Stags join a number of clubs from the EFL and beyond to commit to the cause, creating further awareness to the problems faced in football by females.
Her Game Too was founded by 12 passionate female football fans who are committed to growing the campaign with the aim of fostering an ethos in football in which women are welcomed and respected equally.
