Clare Balding To Host Women's Football World

Women's Football World, which will feature all the best of women's football from top leagues around the world, is to be hosted by BAFTA award-winning journalist and broadcaster Clare Balding.

Coca-Cola has partnered with Channel 4 to launch the new show.

Women's Football World is a world-first featuring a weekly roundup of the best of the action from women’s football leagues across the globe.

It will include highlights from England's WSL as well as action from top flight women's football in France, Germany, Italy, USA and the women’s UEFA Champions League.

Clare said: "I'm thrilled that Channel 4 is dedicating a football show solely to the women’s game. Having more women's football on television can only help with awareness of the players, show the scope and quality of the game around the world, win over even more fans and inspire more young girls to become tomorrow’s superstars."

Channel 4 Commissioning Editor for Sport, Joe Blake-Turner said: "We're delighted to welcome women’s football back to Channel 4. Our coverage of the UEFA Women’s Euro 2017 was a huge success and there is clearly a real appetite out there for top quality women's football."

Each week Clare will be joined by a professional footballer who will provide expert analysis and opinion on the week’s key talking points and topical issues. Clare will also be gaining a deeper insight into the lives of her guests outside sport.

In partnership with Coca-Cola and produced by Nimble Productions for Channel 4, Women’s Football World will be shot on location at a different women's football club, stadium or training ground each week.
