LFC FoundationBeyond the Goalpost: Our new LFC Foundation Programme
We are proud to introduce Beyond the Goalposts, a Liverpool FC Foundation football initiative dedicated to supporting the wellbeing, confidence and progression of Black and marginalised women and girls across football and sport.
Beyond the Goalposts exists to address the barriers that too often prevent women and girls from fully accessing opportunities within sport. Whether that is stepping onto the pitch, exploring leadership roles, developing careers behind the scenes, or simply feeling a sense of belonging within football spaces. Our aim is simple but powerful: to create environments where women and girls feel seen, supported, and empowered to thrive.While places on our current programme are limited, we are keen to keep you connected. By signing up to our interest list, you’ll be among the first to hear about new sessions, leadership opportunities, and ways to get involved as Beyond the Goalposts continues to grow and evolve.
Launching in August 2026, Beyond the Goalposts will be delivered through a series of evening and weekend workshop sessions across the Merseyside region. The programme has been intentionally designed to be flexible, accessible and responsive — recognising the varied responsibilities, experiences and aspirations of the women and girls we serve.
Whether your goal is to play, lead, learn, or simply become part of a supportive and like‑minded community, Beyond the Goalposts is committed to creating meaningful pathways both on and off the pitch. Our sessions focus not only on football participation, but on personal development, confidence‑building and long‑term progression.
Participants can expect a rich and varied programme, including:
- Mentoring opportunities
- Leadership workshops
- Careers and pathways advice within football and sport
- Football and family festivals
- Panel discussions with inspirational voices
- Player appearances
And much more as the programme develops
Beyond the Goalposts is more than a series of sessions, it’s a growing movement grounded in community, representation and opportunity. We believe that when women and girls are given the right support and space, football can be a powerful vehicle for confidence, connection and change.
To stay informed and be part of what’s next, please sign up here. We look forward to welcoming you to Beyond the Goalpost soon.
