Her Game Too was recognised at the Football Content Awards for the third successive year, winning silver in the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Award - Organisation category.
Roopa Vyas, Chief Operating Officer of Her Game Too, was also awarded silver in the Individual category for excellence in EDI.
The Football Content Awards are voted for by both the public and judges to reward achievements in football-related content creation across a range of categories, and nominees included media organisations, podcasters, football clubs, charities, individual content creators and footballers.
A group of Her Game Too ambassadors and advocates attended last night’s ceremony held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which was hosted by Joel Beya.
Last year, Her Game Too scooped double gold for best organisation in both the EDI and women’s football categories, and the campaign also won gold for its EDI content in 2022.
Roopa Vyas said: “Picking up silver in the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Individual category and the Organisation category with Her Game Too is an incredible honour.
“Being recognised for my personal achievements is deeply humbling and has motivated me to persevere, no matter how challenging things may seem.
“I know that my work matters and can make a positive difference, particularly for the South Asian community.
“The nominees in both categories all do such inspiring work, and we want to continue collaborating with others to support women and girls in football.
“Events like these shine a light on the tireless efforts of organisations like ours, where we pour our hearts into making football a better, more inclusive place for everyone.”
Kick It Out won gold in the EDI category - a charity Her Game Too works closely with to tackle sexism in football through a number of projects.
Both organisations recently collaborated on the charity’s Kick Sexism Out campaign, through which volunteers from Her Game Too participated in a hard-hitting film about the reality of gender discrimination on matchdays.
There was also FCAs success in the Best New Content Creator category for the Absolute Football Podcast, which features a number of Her Game Too Ambassadors and broadcasts a programme of podcasts throughout the week focused on football topics including the Premier League, EFL, women’s football and non-league.
The Absolute Football Podcast team includes podcast host Char Cromarty, who is Her Game Too’s Rochdale Ambassador, and contributors Rebecca Shaw, Head of Her Game Too Ice Hockey, and Heather Hoggatt, Events Coordinator for Her Game Too.
