In 2019, Barclays announced the biggest ever sponsorship of women’s sport in the UK, becoming the title sponsor of the Barclays FA Women’s Super League, Europe’s first fully professional women’s football league. Along with this ground-breaking support for professional women’s sport, Barclays also invested in the FA Girls’ Football School Partnerships, with the aim of ensuring all girls in England have equal access to football in schools by 2024.
Tom Corbett, Barclays’ Group Head of Sponsorships and Media, said: “We’ve been delighted to see the positive response to The Game Changers and it’s great to be back with eight more influential women from the world of football to coincide with the Barclays FA WSL season. I can’t wait to hear more from these trailblazers.”
The Game Changers is hosted by Sue Anstiss MBE, a trustee of the Women’s Sport Trust charity and the founder of Fearless Women, a company with a powerful ambition to drive positive change for women’s sport.
The award-winning podcast features trailblazing women who are knocking down barriers and challenging the status quo for women and girls everywhere.
High profile guests in previous series of The Game Changers include Jess Ennis-Hill, Kelly Smith, Clare Balding, Denise Lewis, Sarah Storey, Jacqui Oatley and Katherine Grainger.
Commenting on the launch of the sixth series, Sue says: “We’ve just surpassed 50,000 downloads and we’re now averaging over 2,000 downloads a week which puts The Game Changers in the top 15% of podcasts worldwide.
“I’m so grateful to Barclays for commissioning this series focused on women in football. There are so many extraordinary women working in the sport – it’s great to be able to tell the stories of eight more.
