Y Sport at the #EqualitySummit during the FIFA Women's World Cup 2019 in France

I was so pleased to be invited to take part in a very timely and fantastic panel at the #EqualitySummit during the FIFA Women's World Cup 2019 in France, discussing professionalisation, commercialisation, and the opportunity and challenge in women’s football. We had an exceptional panel of brilliant leaders in football: Tatjana Haenni - Head of Women's Football, Swiss Football Association, Becca Roux - Executive Director for the USWNT Players Association, and Amanda Vandervort - former VP of Fan Engagement at Major League Soccer.
