When will there be full gender equality in football? In this episode we discuss the incredible rise of women's football, inspired by the recent success of the Lionesses. Join us as we reflect on the journey of women's football, from the historical ban by the English FA in 1921 to the record-breaking attendance at recent matches and the growing visibility of female athletes. We discuss the significant strides made in the sport, including the landmark £24 million broadcast deal for the Women's Super
League and the separate sale of Women's World Cup broadcast rights. We also touch on the ongoing challenges, such as pay inequality and the under-representation of female coaches, while celebrating the achievements of role models like Serena Wiegman. As we look ahead, we explore the impact of the Lionesses' success on the future of women's football and the barriers that still need to be broken.
