The FA may increase the percentage of women on its board to 30%. Only half of the 68 Sport England and UK Sport funded national governing bodies actually meet this target. Why? Baroness Sue Campbell, Head of Women's Football at the FA and 大象传媒 Sports journalist Katie Gornall discuss possible reforms to sporting boards.
