Summer 2019 has seen an undeniable turning point in attitudes towards women’s sport. With the BBC broadcasting every match of the Women’s World Cup, and the Lionesses claiming a lead in the group stages, there’s no better time to celebrate the talent of female players.

And to top it all off, for the first time ever, women will take the pitch for 2019’s Soccer Aid charity match, which will be broadcast live on ITV tonight Sunday 16 June at 6:30pm.

Former Lionesses Katie Chapman and Rachel Yankey will join the star-studded England team, alongside GMB presenter Susanna Reid, who is leading the team with previous England-manager Sam Allardyce.
