Google Pixel has teamed up with The Powerhouse Project to launch Pixel FC Academy – a programme for young women to break into football media.

According to YouGov, 70% of young women believe sports media is a male-dominated industry, with 58% believing the biggest barrier to enter the industry is a fear of not being taken seriously. Pixel FC Academy is ready to change that.

The programme is open to women over the age of 18, with workshops covering every aspect of modern sports media including broadcast punditry, written press and social content creation. 

Over five months, the programme aims to provide aspiring creators and media moguls with the opportunities and training they need to break into the industry and succeed.

The workshops will be supported by Google Pixel partners Arsenal, Liverpool and the FA.

Applications for Pixel FC Academy are open now on The Powerhouse Project’s website. The application window closes on November 18.
