Ellen White 3G pitch opens in Derbyshire

Former Lioness, Ellen White MBE, has officially opened a pitch named after her at Glossop North End Community Club in Derbyshire.

The 3G pitch and two-team changing pavilion has been delivered thanks to a £1.55 million grant from the Football Foundation. It is one of 30 Football Foundationfunded pitches that are being named after each of the Lionesses to honour their victory at the UEFA Women’s EURO and their inspirational performance at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

The Lioness legacy pitches form a key part of the Football Foundation’s HERe To Play campaign.
