Football remains the most popular sport in the world. The women’s game is the fastest growing team sport in the world. While it may no longer be referred to as The People’s Game as often as it was in the nineteenth and early twentieth century, its popularity worldwide makes it a valuable educational tool around which other things can be built. Football plus refers to initiatives where other forces such as education use football as a means to an end rather than a football end in and of itself.
