Women’s Euros: What does the game still need?

The UEFA Women’s Euro 2022 kicks off in England today, having been postponed for a year due to the pandemic. Sixteen teams are competing, including Northern Ireland making their first appearance. But some have criticised the capacity of stadiums selected, and that no games are being hosted in the North East or Midlands. So, what does women’s football still need? And will it ever be on a par with the men’s game? On the Sky News Daily with Niall Paterson, former England player Laura Bassett describes the joy of support on the pitch. Sky Sports News reporter Fadumo Olow explains the criticism levelled at this year’s Euros and Christina Philippo, director of policy at Fair Game, tells us what support is needed to get women’s football the attention it deserves.
