Can Euro 2022 turbo charge English women’s football?

The Sports Desk

Available for over a year

It promises to be a summer like no other for women’s football: a home Euros, sell-out crowds and an England team tipped by many to go all the way. However, with attendances in the Women’s Super League declining, can the tournament really have a lasting impact on interest and participation? And could the Football Association have been more ambitious with its choice of stadiums for the showpiece? We take you to the girls’ football club that launched the career of one of England's star players, hear from the FA director of women’s football Baroness Sue Campbell and take a trip down memory lane with England’s first ever female captain Sheila Parker. Panel: Sarah Mulkerrins, Dan Roan, Nesta McGregor, Suzy Wrack, Siobhan Chamberlain Producer: Sam Sheringham
