Show notes

After the firing of North Carolina coach Paul Riley over sexual misconduct allegations we focus on a growing crisis in women’s football. We hear from a US women’s star who played under Riley, who denies the allegations, and a whistleblower who exposed a similar case in Canadian football. And with allegations emerging this week in Australia and Venezuela, we ask football’s governing body Fifa whether more needs to be done to keep women safe.Warning: This podcast contains sensitive material that some listeners may find upsetting.
