Whether you watch it, play it or coach it, sport is one of life’s greatest pleasures. From scrappy school rounders games to screaming at the TV during the Olympics, sport brings us together like no other pursuit.

And this year, off the back of a huge Euros win for the national team in 2022, it’s all about championing women’s professional football and making it easier for fans to get to the stands.

That’s why Expedia, the official travel partner of Liverpool FC Women, is providing a free coach service to take supporters to every LFCW’s Barclays Women’s Super League away game within the UK. Plus, the Expedia app’s unique Price Tracking feature helps fans get the best rates on flights if travelling to games abroad.

To celebrate this new initiative, and as part of this year’s International Women’s Day, Stylist spoke to three footballers from Liverpool FC Women – Niamh Fahey, Rhiannon Roberts and Taylor Hinds – about the power of sport, the role models that continue to inspire them and how travel has played an integral part in their individual careers.
