LONDON (Reuters) - The English FA will increase the number of women on its board to three by 2018 as part of a range of proposed reforms to the world's oldest soccer federation, it said on Monday. The FA said it also planned to add 11 new members to the FA Council "to ensure it better reflects the inclusive and diverse nature of English football". "I am delighted that the FA board is able to unanimously recommend this strong package of reforms," said Clarke in a statement. "It is quite right for women to be progressing but these reforms need to be across the board and not just directed at women. The FA board has conducted a review of its corporate governance over the past six months as it seeks to serve better the long-term interests of the English game.
