Last year's World Cup helped boost business for the pub trade.

And now CAMRA is teaming up with the 'Change the Channel' initiative to highlight where and when the Women's World Cup is being shown.

Abigail Newton, CAMRA's national vice chairman, said: "We know that football is good news for pubs and last year's World Cup provided a much-needed boost for the trade as a whole.

"We would like to see the Women's World Cup match that success this year and are encouraging pubs to screen the games and viewers to tune in over the match weeks."

She added: "In addition, we think this is a fantastic opportunity to highlight the incredibly important role that women play in the beer industry.

"We are therefore releasing interviews with female movers and shakers each week to demonstrate their impact and ensure that women's voices and games are heard across the industry."

Other pubs shortlisted by CAMRA include Temple Brew House in London, Beer Nouveau in Manchester and Red Lion UAB in Birmingham.

A Change the Channel spokeswoman added: "There is a serious lack of air-time given to women's sport in the UK and yet people really want to watch women play.

"So to help generate more coverage, we have been asking pubs and bars to change the TV channel and show the Women's World Cup, knowing that greater visibility enables more girls and women to see and experience the benefits of sport.

"We have got loads of venues on board so far with some even offering free drinks."
