Women’s football has never been more visible, or more powerful.
And if EURO 2025 proved anything, it’s that the global appeal of the women’s game is no longer up for debate.
In this Live Special episode of Don’t Forget Your Tickets, recorded at the Emirates Stadium in January, Girls on the Ball (Sophie Downey and Rachel O’Sullivan) sit down with Thom Airs to reflect on a decade of front-line reporting, from the 2012 Olympics to packed-out stadiums today.
🎙️ What we cover:
- From niche to mainstream: how visibility changed the game
- The startup-like growth of women’s football, and what still holds it back
- How to reach new audiences through bold, inclusive storytelling
- The commercial and cultural future of the sport

If EURO 2025 inspired you, challenged your assumptions, or opened your eyes, this conversation will take you one step further.
