I implore the FAW to change this discriminatory rule with immediate effect. It has been talked about over and over again by the officials at the FAW but change is well over due to a rule which is to put it bluntly direct discrimination.

By raising the age of mixed teams gives both genders a better chance of being better adults with an undersea

Not a fan of football, but I am a fan of freedom and fair play. FAW should raise the age to match the rest of UK as a minimum... I think to match UEFA rules would make sense as UK will probably align itself with Europe soon, so FAW can be leaders instead of reluctant followers.

let the girls play, they can only improve playing in and against stronger opposition week in week out,regardless of gender.And this can only be for the good of Women's Football in Wales.

Age should be lifted and mixed teams whether there is a girls league or not.

Why on earth should the Welsh girls be 'held back' by having to move if they LOVE playing in mixed? Come on Wales get with Scotland and England and allow our girls the same enjoyment and development.

Geat news. Well done Alan (Watkins). Best wishes Megan.
I too have girls who were stopped because of the age rule - no wonder we lag behind other countries. To develop our girls they need to be playing with boys - its that simple!

I have a 4 year old daughter born in Wales who might like to play football one day so it makes sense that Wales follow England/Scotland's lead and allow mixed teams for longer.

If girls want to play up to 15 i don't see a problem with it.
