Football and the Americas are an inseparable duo, although this enduring relationship seems to disentangle the farther North you go, no matter how hard David Beckham tries. Something that is often frustratingly ignored and suppressed however, is the long and rich history of Women’s football particularly in Latin America. On the pod this week, we are joined by Prof. Brenda Elsey, an expert in the subject and co-author of the seminal book “Futbolera: A History of Women and Sports in Latin America”. Tune in as we attempt to cover the social-history of Women’s football in Latin America, particularly in the Southern Cone, but somewhere in between delve into a frank discussion about the future of football as whole and which path the Women’s game might take.
