More Than A Game: The Power Of Football

Season 1, Episode 4

In every neighbourhood in the UK, you will find a group of young people kicking a ball around wearing shirts with Rashford, Salah or Rodri on the back. These players are role models for kids who may not have many in their lives.

The question is: can we harness football’s influence to help these children reach their potential? Our latest guests already have the answer – especially since two out of those three footballers are patrons for their charity… Rashford and Rodri take a bow.

We’re thrilled to welcome Jack Reynolds, co-founder of Football Beyond Borders, and Paul Barber, CEO of Brighton Football Club and new chair of FBB.

This episode is all about power- but not in the way you think. It’s about the power of relationships, the power of branding, and the power of football to connect every child at risk of exclusion with a trusted adult.

Ultimately, it is about the power of football to keep kids in education.
