Football kits gifted to girls at Wirral primary school

Tranmere Rovers in the Community took Harvey Saunders, Chris Merrie and Dan Pike to deliver brand-new Premier League football kit to girls from Rock Ferry Primary School, as part of the League’s ongoing support for women’s and girls’ football.

The school applied to receive the kit, which includes 13 outfield sets and one goalkeeper set plus optional Nike 2.0 hijabs.

Richard Masters, Premier League Chief Executive, said: “Football is a game that everyone can enjoy, and it has the ability to empower and inspire young people in the classroom, the playground and on the pitch. 

“I hope the girls enjoy their new Premier League kit and that they continue to reap the many benefits that football can bring, both on and off the pitch.” 

Girls football teams from the school taking part in Tranmere Rovers in the Community’s Premier League Programme will receive Premier League Primary Stars football kit to celebrate their involvement in the programme and commitment to girls’ football.  

Delivered in partnership with Nike, the Premier League Kit Scheme will see more than 58,000 girls in more than 4,000 primary schools across England and Wales receive the free football kit, featuring the Premier League and No Room For Racism emblems. 

Dan Burrows, Senior Director, Nike Social & Community Impact said: “Nike is delighted to partner with the Premier League on the Kit Scheme for girls.

“Our work with partners like the Premier League is vital to removing cultural, social and economic barriers to participation, so all young people, especially girls, have an opportunity to benefit from play and sport.

“Together, we can create an active next generation and a more equitable future for all.”
