Liz Truss meets the Lionesses
The Prime Minister's vowed to review a key demand from England's women footballers who want girls to be given more access to the sport.
During the Tory leadership campaign, all 23 members of the winning squad wrote to Ms Truss and her then-rival Rishi Sunak demanding "real change" for women's football.
The team said they see their victory as "only the beginning" and demanded that all schoolgirls have access to a minimum of two hours a week of sport classes.
At the time, Ms Truss's campaign said she was "committed to investigating what prevents schools" from providing two hours of PE per week and "wants equal access to all sports for boys and girls".
Only a third of girls aged five to 18 play football each week despite it being England's most popular team sport, according to research by the FA.
Just 63% of schools in England offer equal football coaching to boys and girls, the FA found.
Today Liz Truss watched the Lionesses train in Lensbury Resort in south west London before talking about the issue with captain Leah Williamson.
The meeting between the Prime Minister and the first England team to win a football title for 56 years comes more than three months after their victory.
Boris Johnson was leader at the time and chose not to watch at Wembley, despite German Chancellor Olaf Scholz having travelled to London to support his team.
They were watched on during that match by Liz Truss, who was then foreign secretary and women and equalities minister.
Ms Truss, who declined to take questions from the press during her visit, posed for a team photo besides the European trophy before holding it up with the assistance of defender Lucy Bronze.
Members of the squad and the PM sang happy birthday to the Football Association's director of women's football Baroness Sue Campbell on the pitch.
Baroness Campbell said today's meeting between England captain Leah Williamson and defender Lotte Wubben-Moy and the Prime Minister lasted around 20 minutes.
"I think it went really well, very positive, I think the players expressed themselves very clearly.
"This is a legacy they care very deeply about, they feel they have inspired a generation of young girls to want to play the game and they want to make sure those opportunities are there in schools and in clubs so the girls can take up that inspiration and turn it into participation.
"Both of them explained that for many of the players on the field now, they had quite difficult journeys to get to where they are, and now we've taken this marvellous step forward, we've won the Euros, we've inspired a nation, we want to make sure that this younger generation don't have that challenge."
Baroness Campbell, said the Lionesses came away with the impression the Prime Minister was listening to their requests, adding that Leah Williamson and Lotte Wubben-Moy will meet Education Secretary Kit Malthouse in early November.
Asked if the PM backs the players demand for two hours' PE per week at schools, the peer said: "She certainly backs equal opportunity, no question about that.
"I think she really understands it, she's very sympathetic with that need to give people equal opportunity.
"I think she's confused as to why we're not doing two hours in our curriculum and wants to have a look at that and review that, why isn't that happening and I think that's all very positive."
