Sporting Equals chief executive Arun Kang says it is important to consider South Asian women in the game, adding top-flight representation is nowhere near where it should be.
Kang was speaking after the launch of a partnership between Sky Sports and Sporting Equals to help tackle under-representation by addressing some of the barriers affecting the participation and progression of British South Asian football talent, particularly in the girls' and women's game.
He said there is need an urgent need to collect wide-ranging data on diverse participants at the elite end of the women's game, insisting football's stakeholders must work collectively in this process.
South Asian women in the game are really important," Kang told Sky Sports News.
"I think 0.3 per cent [British South Asian representation] in the WSL isn't good enough at the moment. I know there are many South Asian women and girls who are playing football [at a high standard] and we need to bring them on board.
