Fiona May Tackles Racism

World Football

Available for over a year

The former long-jumper Fiona May talks about her shock at being asked to be the anti-racism advisor to the controversial head of Italian football, Carlo Tavecchio. The Netherlands goalkeeper, Jasper Cillessen, gives an insight into the difficulties of being a goalkeeper on the bench and what it was like to be replaced just before a penalty shoot-out. We hear both sides of the artificial pitch debate, ahead of the draw for the Women’s World Cup. The man who was coach of New York Red Bulls when Thierry Henry joined pays tribute to the Frenchman. And central defender Omar Jarun describes his pride at Palestine’s award for National Team of the Year in Asia. (Image: Fiona May, Credit: Getty Images)
