Lioness football game - Electricity use
Football today – The history of football in the UK is a rich tapestry woven from medieval chaos to global dominance. Let’s take a tour through time:
Origins and Folk Football
Football-like games were played in England as early as the 14th century, often during festivals.
These “mob football” matches involved entire villages, few rules, and a lot of bruises—goals could be miles apart.
The game was so unruly that King Edward II banned it in 1314, fearing public disorder.
Public Schools and Codification
In the 19th century, elite schools like Eton, Harrow, and Rugby developed their own versions of football.
Cambridge University hosted a meeting in 1848 to unify rules, leading to the Cambridge Rules, a precursor to modern football.
The Football Association (FA) was founded in 1863, separating football from rugby and standardizing the rules.
Club Formation and Competitions
Sheffield FC, founded in 1857, is the world’s oldest football club.
The FA Cup began in 1871, and the Football League was established in 1888, creating structured competition.
Professionalism was legalized in 1885, transforming football into a working-class spectacle.
Global Influence
The British Empire spread football worldwide, influencing clubs like AC Milan and Young Boys, which adopted English names.
UK clubs and players helped shape international football, with the first official international match played in 1872 between England and Scotland.
Women’s Football
Women’s football emerged in the late 19th century, with the first recorded match in 1888 in Inverness.
Though banned by the FA in 1921, it resurged and now thrives with England’s Lionesses leading the charge.

While there’s no public figure for the total electricity consumption directly linked to the Lionesses’ matches, training, or events, there are some fascinating insights into how energy is being managed around women’s football in England:
Sustainable Football Initiatives
E.ON’s “Greener Game” programme is investing £1.5 million annually into grassroots clubs to help them reduce energy use and carbon emissions.
Upgrades include solar panels, battery storage, energy audits, and free energy monitors for over 100 clubs.
Pilot clubs have reported up to 25% savings on energy bills, which can be reinvested into facilities and coaching.
Stadium Energy Use
Large stadiums like Wembley or St. Jakob-Park (hosting today’s Euro 2025 final) consume significant electricity for lighting, broadcasting, security, and hospitality.
However, these figures are rarely broken down by event or team, so it’s hard to isolate the Lionesses’ specific footprint.
The Bigger Picture
The Lionesses’ success has inspired a wave of eco-conscious upgrades across football, especially at the grassroots level.
Former Lioness Anita Asante described the movement as “empowering clubs to take small yet meaningful steps towards sustainability”.
