An Evening with Gemma Grainger
from The Referees' Channel Hosted by TheRefChannel
Gemma Grainger became manager of the Cymru National Team in March 2021 on a four-year contract, as the team look to reach a major tournament for the first time in their history. Grainger’s first competitive campaign in charge of Cymru started in September, with the side competing for a place in the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. The campaign has ran with the slogan ‘For Us, For Them, For Her’ and the side’s exciting side of play currently sees them sit in second place in the group after four wins, one draw and one loss. Cymru have scored 17 goals along the way, and are attracting record crowds to home matches. Originally from Middlesbrough, Grainger spent eleven years working with the England age group setup, as head coach of teams from the WU15 through to the WU23 groups. A UEFA Pro Licence holder, Grainger was part of England’s coaching staff for the UEFA Women’s EURO 2017 competition, where England reached the semi-finals.
