PayPal facilitates people’s passions. With quick & easy payments, it saves consumers time to focus on what’s important – such as the nation’s favourite pastime, football.
A key moment in the women’s game provided an opportunity to drive fame for PayPal’s new role as the Official Payments Partner of The Football Association as well as integrating their products in key football moments.
In collaboration with football media network, COPA90, we told the stories of heroes at all levels of the women’s game through a film series. These inspirational narratives reached two key audiences (parents & digital natives), showcasing PayPal as a facilitator brand through its #PoweringPossible platform.

A rising star of the game, she has previously been nominated for PFA Women’s Young Player of the Year, in addition to being named in the UEFA Women’s Champions League squad of the season in 2018.
Shawna (Aspiring Player)
Shawna grew up in Walthamstow, East London, playing football from a very early age. Football helped Shawna come out of her shell, build her confidence and gain social skills she felt she was lacking. Shawna joined a boys’ team early on due to a lack of grassroots women’s teams and currently plays for the Millwall Lionesses first team. Currently Shawna,18, is being held back by injury which has seen her sit out of every game for the past few months. Despite this, Shawna’s resilience has seen her progress from team to team and is well on her way to achieving her dream of playing for England. during the Women’s World Cup X PayPal at St. George’s Park, Tatenhill, Burton upon Trent on Monday 1st April – PHOTO: Phil Mingo/PPAUK
