London City Lionesses' Training Centre: A Step Towards Equality
Michele Kang believes London City Lionesses' planned training ground will set a new standard in the women's game. She states, "Our architect... told me that by the time the London City training centre is up and running, it would be better than with the majority of Premier League men's teams training centres."
Kang's Vision for Women's Football
Kang views investment in infrastructure as a crucial step to ensure female athletes are no longer treated differently from their male counterparts. "How could you possibly accept the notion that your girls... are treated as second-class citizens?" she asks.
Independent Women's Clubs
Kang advocates for independent women's clubs, citing her experience with Washington Spirit in the U.S., where two-thirds of teams are independent. She wanted to establish a similar model with London City Lionesses, "to show when you really devote... into women-only team, what's possible."
Kang's Upbringing
Kang attributes her passion for women's rights to her father, whose influence shaped her beliefs from an early age.
