GIRLFANS the Zine returns!

Share This Post

After a six-year hiatus shaped by the challenges of lockdown, work, and the demands of everyday life, GIRLFANS the Zine – a project led by MWOTY 2024’s Arts, Culture & Media category winner, Jacqui McAssey – is making its return. What more fitting moment to re-emerge than in the wake of the Lionesses’ historic back-to-back Euros victory?

This edition holds particular significance. For the first time, it is publishing photographs of women fans of the England national team. The GIRLFANS team has been bringing together photographers, illustrators and writers who have documented tournaments in England, Australia, and Switzerland since 2018.

As with previous issues, this publication is a strictly limited run, individually numbered from 1–100. Each issue will also be accompanied by limited edition artworks and badges.

Jacqui said: “Since the launch of GIRLFANS in 2013, the landscape for women fans, and women in football, has undergone a seismic transformation. I am delighted that we are able to continue contributing to this dialogue, and this edition marks only the beginning of the next chapter.”

Pre-orders for GIRLFANS England are now open. By securing a copy, you are directly supporting the continuation of this print project and the creative collaborators who make it possible.
