Her Game Too are committed to tackling sexism and championing women in sport.
Leamington are the seventh National League North club to commit to the cause. A number of Premier League, EFL and other non-league teams already support the campaign.
Her Game Too hope the partnerships raise awareness of the challenges faced by women in football.
The organisation want to ensure everyone can enjoy the sport regardless of gender by providing a safe and supportive environment for all female supporters, promoting their involvement and engagement with the game.
Leamington will support the cause by displaying Her Game Too’s message on the club’s social channels, website, matchday magazine and throughout the Your Co-Op Community Stadium.
Leamington chairman, Jim Scott, said: “Everyone at the club stands united in wanting to eradicate sexism from sport and society.
“We are delighted to be working with Her Game Too to share what is such a vital message, and we are looking forward to supporting them as their campaign continues and making sure every supporter at Leamington FC not only feels safe and welcome, but feels valued.”
Co-founder and director of Her Game Too, Lucy Ford, added: “We are delighted to announce our newest partnership with Leamington FC.
“Her Game Too are dedicated to tackle sexism and promote gender equality in sport, striving for an inclusive environment for all.
“Her Game Too wants to partner up with clubs and other organisations that match our values so we’re really excited to partner up with Leamington FC to continue spread our message that football is for all.”
The club will also dedicate a matchday to the Her Game Too campaign for a game in the second half of the season. Leamington will ensure the game coincides with International Women’s Day on March 8.
