Ladies’ Subbuteo is a whole new ball game
THE FA has urged the makers of the popular game Subbuteo to put on sale to the public a ladies’ version it created only as a limited edition.
Hasbro, the makers of Monopoly, Cluedo and Trivial Pursuit, has produced 100 sets that feature female players to be donated to amateur football clubs and given as prizes. The FA and Hasbro are now in talks to bring the sets to shops. The FA said it wanted to “tackle barriers” within the women’s game, which is gaining in popularity. Marzena Bogdanowicz, a marketing head at the FA, said: “This allfemale set is a reflection of the rapid growth that women’s football is seeing.”
