We’re thrilled to launch The Soccer Podcast USA with an unmissable first episode featuring Emma Hayes—gold medal-winning coach of the US Women’s National Team, seven-time champion with Chelsea, and one of the most influential voices in soccer today.

In this preview, host Christina Unkel—CBS Sports commentator, former FIFA referee, and lifelong advocate for the game— introduces her exclusive conversation with Emma Hayes. In the full episode Emma outlines her vision for the USWNT, starting with a new U23 program to identify and develop more players for the senior team. She also shares her thoughts on:

• Her hopes for more women coaches in the game.
