Pride and the Women's World Cup - Football Writers' Association x Sports Media LGBT+

Lovers of the game are gearing up to go Down Under for the ninth
FIFA Women's World Cup and with the tournament fast approaching,
that's where our LGBTQ+ focus lies for a special Pride Month
episode.


For the third consecutive year, the podcast is celebrating the
Football Writers' Association's support for Sports Media LGBT+,
with both organisations keen to send out the message that the
football media industry welcomes everyone.


Joining host Jon Holmes for this chat are four
fellow journalists - together they'll waltz you through a queer
history of the WWC, selecting highs and lows, heroes and villains
from past tournaments, before looking ahead to Australia and New
Zealand 2023. On the pod...
