Steph Houghton is hoping to make it a double by winning the FA Women’s Super League Continental Cup (Picture: Action Images) Houghton scored in all three of Team GB’s group games at London 2012, including one against Brazil in front of more than 70,000 fans at Wembley.
Now her focus is on helping the Gunners win the double by beating Birmingham in the FA Women’s Super League Continental Cup final at Barnet’s Underhill after already winning the WSL.
‘We are getting a lot more attention and recognition,’ she said.
‘Attendances are improving. The image of women’s football has changed for the better and we have to make sure it keeps getting better as more and more girls take it up.’
Meanwhile the Football Association has confirmed Team GB will not be sending a men’s football team to the 2016 Olympics, but it has not ruled out fielding a women’s side.
