Forza Football in France – in pics

This summer's Women's World Cup has been a fantastic tournaments so far – full of great football, fabulous fans and some brilliant match ups.

You might have seen on our social media channels that some people from Forza Football have been out in France.

Why? To watch football, of course, but also to shine a light on what is not right within football. We wanted to meet and talk to fans about equality and why women's football deserves to be taken seriously.

We have had a wonderful time meeting people from across the world and we wanted to share some photos of the work we have been doing and of the fans we have been lucky enough to chat with about the game we all love, football.

(We might have mentioned the app once or twice too.)

One of our main projects was letting fans write down their thoughts on making football more equal
People wrote in different languages and had dozens of amazing ideas
Everyone wanted to add something or take a picture
The Italy fans in Reims loved the banner
The banner got more and more full as we travelled around
In fact we ran out of space and decided to add to the banner!
We met lots of Sweden fans in Rennes before their game against Chile
We held a competition where they could win one of our special #ForzaFootball4equality t-shirts
We bumped into international superstar Pernille Harder...
...as well as former Sweden and USA coach Pia Sundhage
The Chile fans brought colour and noise
They didn't stop singing for a second
Even as the rain poured down fans were still excited
We chatted to some fans on camera and you will get to see some videos soon!
They met our colleagues Mirjam and Thierry
And some lucky fans got to chat to Thierry
We spent some time with the American Outlaws and their amazing band
As well as chatting to 'Cool Soccer Mom' one of our goalscorer reporters in the app
And we have been trying our best to enjoy our time in France too!
