Barnsley chief executive Khaled El-Ahmad hopes the club can make dreams come true after launching their first professional women’s team. The Sky Bet League One club will take Barnsley Ladies, recently promoted from the sixth tier of women’s football, in-house at Oakwell from next season and rebrand them as Barnsley FC. El-Ahmad said the move was part of his vision for the Yorkshire club after he became the first Swedish chief executive in British football in July 2021. He told the PA news agency: “It’s not necessarily the timing of it, it’s just the right thing to do as a club with a 136-year history. “We’re sure there’s the talent pool in and around Barnsley and we can play a big role in helping young girls and women achieve their dream.” Barnsley aim to be “a leading club in the promotion of women’s football” and plan for Barnsley FC to play some of their games at Oakwell. It's not necessarily the timing of it, it's just the right thing to do as a club with a 136-year history Barnsley CEO Khaled El-Ahmad The club said in a statement: “The professionalisation of the women’s team will see Barnsley FC invest in a number of areas, including but not limited to increased matchday support, access to sport science, training and physio teams, increased marketing and promotion and much more.” El-Ahmad, who oversaw a restructuring of Barnsley’s board of directors just over a year ago, said: “We asked was why does Barnsley Football Club not have a women’s team? “So we started our due diligence, speaking to the Council, Barnsley Ladies, I had a meeting with another Barnsley women’s team, a meeting with a Premier League club and the FA. “We decided to make the decision and took Barnsley Ladies first team into our organisation as the best step forward for us as a club and hopefully for the borough. We’re proud and very excited.” Barnsley hope to celebrate Thursday’s announcement by taking another big step towards promotion back to the Sky Bet Championship at the first attempt. Michael Duff’s side play the second leg of their play-off semi-final against Bolton at Oakwell on Friday after drawing 1-1 in last Saturday’s first leg. The Reds finished fourth in League One in Duff’s first campaign in charge, winning 26 of their fixtures during the regular season. “Hopefully, with a bit of luck and skill and support we can win another game,” El-Ahmad added. “Then we can speak again.” Read More Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live Manchester United’s Charlie Savage wants to make his own name in the game It’s in our hands – Steve Cooper urges Forest to take advantage of good position England seamer Kate Cross laid low by ongoing battle against tropical disease

Politicians try their hardest to look like normal people but they really struggle. This is especially true when they watch football - we all remember when Boris Johnson put kit on over his shirt and tie during the Euros, right? If you do remember that, than you'd have predicted a lot of embarrassing photo opps from politicians watching the Lionesses storm to success during the Women's World Cup this year. Beating a number of opponents, the team are to face Spain in the final on Sunday and politicians couldn't help but scrape into the action. Here are some politicians who made watching the World Cup this year seem very cringe. Why did this MP print out a piece of paper that said "Lionesses" on it to celebrate the match: Anneliese Dodds used England's 6-1 win over China in the group stage to promote Labour's Alistair Strathern and his campaign in Mid Bedfordshire. Wakeford especially gets cringe points for calling the adult team "girls". And awkwardly waving a couple of flags is pretty cringe, too: Who could forget this already classic Ed Davey photo... Poor MPs. They are just trying to have a good time but there's nothing they can do that they won't get rinsed for. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
