"Our aim is to provide a fantastic facility that will significantly increase opportunities and experiences for all participants within the game, be they individuals or Clubs. At a time when the Football Association is targeting the doubling of participation in the women's game, this will also give Cheshire and our partners the chance to lead the way, and create a lasting legacy not only for women's and girl's football, but the whole game throughout the County of Cheshire."
Steve Parry, Managing Director of ION Developments, added: "We are greatly looking forward to bringing what will become a world-class football centre with luxury hotel to Cheshire.
"The finished development will not only enhance Cheshire's brilliant reputation as a footballing destination and bring hotel rooms to a thriving tourism destination, but will also give women and girls football the much needed state-of-the-art facilities to help reach its full potential."
