Our guest today is Rebecca “Bex” Smith. Bex is a former World Cup and Olympic footballer. She managed the women's competition at FIFA and was global executive director of the Women's game for COPA 90. She currently runs her own consultancy on the women's game and female athletes called Crux Sports.
In this episode, we talk about the differences in the women's game and the men's game, what it's like to host the under-17 Women's World Cup in Jordan, and how Bex led changes at FIFA that’ll impact football forever.
We also talk about how football is so much more than football.
