Football for good:
Equality FC
Equal playing budgets. Equal everything. It's not impossible.
What is Equality FC?
In 2017, Lewes Football Club became the FIRST (and currently only) professional or semi-professional club in the world to start treating its women footballers the same as its men – the same playing budgets, same pitch, same training facilities. Not only do we think this is fair, we also think it makes absolute business sense to invest properly behind our two lead products.
#SeeUsAsWeAre
Equality doesn't stand still
Seven years after the launch of EqualityFC, it’s now time to See Us As We Are.
Women are not small men. And women’s football doesn’t want to just be a version of men’s football. It’s the same ball, but a different game. And we’re just starting to find out what that could look like… Find out more here.
Inspiring the next generation of men's and women's footballers around the world.
What next
Wouldn’t it be great if our daughters grew up simply assuming they could be footballers if they wanted to? No barriers, no strange looks and plenty of playing opportunities. And wouldn’t it be great if our sons could see that and grow up giving space and support to their sisters to help them enjoy the wonderful game that is football.
I am a Lewes FC Owner because…I believe the future of football should be about gender equity and that doesn’t just come from fans, it comes from ownership structures (no matter the type) and Lewes FC’s is committed to these activities.

Become an owner
Talk is cheap, but taking action costs a bit of money. And we’re taking lots of actions, all the time. The more people that sign up to become Owners and support us, the faster we’ll get there. Get where? To that place where football really is for everyone, where fans really do get listened to in EVERY club and where Lewes FC are winning Leagues and Cups every year (well, most years).
