Lotte Wubben-Moy marked International Women's Day with a visit to her former primary school, where a mural depicting the Arsenal and England defender was unveiled.

East London native Wubben-Moy met pupils and took part in a football session with girls at Olgar Primary School in Bow. She was joined by Arsenal legend Kelly Smith and football freestyler Lia Lewis Gribius.

As a student, Wubben-Moy had set up the school's very first girl's team with teacher Paul Cox.

The FA's biggest ever football session is taking place across the country today (Friday, March 8), with schools aiming to encourage girls to play football.

Wubben-Moy told Sky Sports: "It is pretty special to be here today. I think mostly fitting because I used to be the only girl playing football on the playground here, and today there are 400,000 signed up for the biggest football sessions, so it's a proud moment."

After England's success at Euro 2022, campaigning from Wubben-Moy and her Lionesses teammates led to the UK government pledging £600 million to create equal school sport opportunities for girls.

A year on from the government's equal access commitment, the 25-year-old's visit to her old school saw Wubben-Moy see for herself the progress that has been made, and the legacy left by the Lionesses.

She wrote on Instagram: "Almost two years on that legacy is coming to fruition, with young girls who want to play football at school benefiting most."

The mural at Olgar Primary School of Wubben-Moy is inspired by her 'doodle diary' at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. It depicts her in England kit with the hashtag 'Let Girls Play', as well as the quote 'A playground full of Lionesses," which was the title of Wubben-Moy and England's letter to the government.
