Stand-up comedian Maisie Adam presents her stand-up special where she discusses her love of football and her experience of the women鈥檚 game ahead of the Women's World Cup 2023.

For Maisie, football has always been there, even when all the signs have been screaming that this wasn鈥檛 a sport for her. At school, where the girls curriculum neglected football in favour of the skirt-adorning Hockey and Netball. In the park, where boys wouldn鈥檛 pass to girls 鈥渂ecause they鈥檒l lose the ball鈥�. And in adult life, where the local sports centre advertises Men's 5-a-side, and women's Yoga.

But it鈥檚 a game where all you need is players and a ball. That鈥檚 it. Well, we have women. We have footballs. Time to pass the ball, lads.

In this final episode, Maisie looks to the future. What will the legacy be for the women's game after the Lionesses inspiring Euros victory? She's joined by special guest, England World Cup captain Millie Bright, to talk about her Euros victory memories, how far the game has come and the approaching Women's World Cup.
