Ever since Leah Williamson lifted the trophy and crowned the Lionesses champions of Europe, women’s football has hit centre stage. More funding, more spaces, more champions than ever before 💪 As part of the Women’s Euros Legacy Project, Nike has given communities of women the spark and support to get behind the ball. In this innovative episode of In The Box, we’ll be having a look at two of these incredible projects working in conjunction with Manchester FA. First up, Charlotte travels down to an Indian Temple over in Oldham, to check out a young women’s team having lots of fun during a kick about. After that, we skip over to Urmston local leisure centre to join a Women's walking football team, specifically for women affected by the menopause. Check out how Nike funding has ignited communities and changed women’s lives in our latest In The Box. Listen now!
