Ep. 63: Women’s Football Beyond Europe, Nostalgia Overload, and Rashford’s Liberation
Update: 2025-07-24
Description
England are headlining another summer of women’s football with a Euros final on the horizon – but while Europe takes the spotlight, too many stories from the women’s game around the world are still going untold.
The VERSUS team breaks down why women’s football outside Europe deserves more respect, and explores the reasons why the coverage gap at tournaments like WAFCON and Copa América Femenina exists.
We also debate whether nostalgia in football-fashion is eating itself – sparked by Chelsea’s latest OVO collab – and unpack why Marcus Rashford’s move to Barcelona feels like so much more than just a transfer.
The Future of Football is a podcast from VERSUS, bringing you closer to the people, stories and ideas shaping the next era of the game.
