The impact of women's football in EA Sports FC

52 minutes

Happy New Year and welcome to Season Two of Expected Goals.

Because you've not heard from Maggie and Matt since before Christmas, in this first episode of the year they've got short and sharp analysis of all the news from the business of women’s football from the last month. Consider it a cheat sheet to bring you up to speed as you get cracking for 2025.

This includes:

The English Championship, which will have fans boozing in the stands from next week

The NWSL, where Denver have been awarded the 16th franchise for a record $110m

The transfer market, both on the pitch and off the pitch, which has seen a fair bit of activity

UEFA announcing significant increases in prize money for the upcoming Euros.

And to round off they tackle a listener question about the impact inclusion of women’s teams and female players in EA Sports’ FC - formerly FIFA - video game franchise has had on the sport and the publisher.
