MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - UEFA has teamed up with Disney to launch a pan-European project aimed at increasing the number of girls playing football.

The biggest-ever attempt to boost girls' involvement in the game will start this spring in seven European countries before being introduced across the continent, European soccer's governing body said on Thursday.

"We truly believe that this unique programme can be the spark for a more active generation of football-loving girls." When girls reach the age of 15-24, they are half as likely to participate in sport as boys the same age, according to studies by the European Commission for Education, Sport, Youth and Culture.

"It is broken down into 10 sessions and the girl will learn basic football skills by completing different tasks," she added.
