Former Lewes CEO Maggie Murphy on what we can expect this year for women’s football

We’re back with our first episode of 2025! Chloe sits down with Maggie Murphy to unpack some of the big headlines set to shape women’s football in 2025: from Barclays’ renewed sponsorship deal to the record five-year TV broadcasting deal. Elsewhere, Maggie explains why Brighton’s proposed women’s stadium would be a game-changer, discusses whether the Championship should actually be rebranded as the ‘WSL2’ and looks at what impact Euro 2025 could have on the growth of the game. Plus, should we be worried about WSL attendances? Join us!Follow us on X, Instagram, Bluesky and YouTube!
