I’d like to see more support for the women’s game. I’d like to cut out racism and the discriminatory slurs both in the men and women’s game.

More quotes by Rinsola Babajide

There’s more female coaches in the game now too which is healthy.

If you have the backing of the men’s side and the club as a whole, it means that us on the pitch can fully focus on that. You want to cancel out the background noise and be able to focus on the football alone.

It’s a sad reality but as a black female I’ve felt like I have to work harder than the next person.

I need to stay focused and tough - negativity will always be there but If I’m working hard, getting to the places I want to play, it means that I’m controlling all I can.

I don’t play football solely for myself. I do it for the younger generation too. I do it for young black females that aspire to be professional footballers in the future.
