Sophie Howard on life at Como, adapting to Serie A, and falling in love with football again

Chloe and Rachel chat to Scotland and FC Como centre-back Sophie Howard about life at what's been called “the most stylish football club in the world”.


Sophie lifts the lid on the grit behind the glamour and how Como have risen to the top of the Serie A table. She also speaks about the past, present and future of a career which has seen her play in Germany, the US, England and now Italy, and reflects on mental health support in football and how she overcame her own battles. Join us for a fascinating, wide-ranging conversation!
