All 92 Premier League and Football League clubs in England have been contacted by campaigners in a bid to tackle sexist abuse in the game.

Women in Football, backed by the FA, has written to every club with recommendations to highlight a series of issues which occur particularly on matchdays.

The organisation conducted a survey earlier this year which found that 66 per cent of women employed in football had witnessed sexism in the workplace.

The advice to clubs includes briefing stewards and security staff on match days as to what to look out for and how to deal with it.

WiF has been logging incidents this season and has recorded complaints of crowd abuse aimed at female employees, including medical staff.
