She said she was still unsure what form the sequel might take, but suggested it could either be another film or a television series.
The director told the BBC she had been asked almost twice a week since the original film was released to come up with a sequel.
“A lot has changed since the original movie, but I think that people still don’t think that women should play football,” she said.
“There are people who still don’t take it seriously, although the Lionesses are riding high.”
“I’ve left it a while, but I thought: look at the Euros, look at the Lionesses.”
Chadha said she hoped not only to reunite the original cast, but that members of the current England squad would be “queuing up” to take on cameo roles.
