âThe momentum is really building, especially in
terms of the Womenâs Super League. The change
has happened. This is the easier part now because
weâve proved that you can believe in the womenâs
game. Attendance at the games shows that. But we
wonât ever stop.â
Youâve sure enough heard of Alessia Russo. After
all, sheâs part of the reason for the revival of the
âItâs Coming Homeâ choruses this year. She is
changing the status of football by creating a safe
and celebrated space for women to turn their
sporting dreams into reality.. They say a girl can
only dream. How wrong they were. Covering our
Winter 23 issue, Russo gets to grips with the
noise of the crowd off the pitch and her christening
as 'Englandâs Golden Girl'.
