Physical activity is good for us! We know that! So, where is participation being encouraged? Sophia Smith Galer and Scaachi Koul are exploring the round ball that you kick, whether you call it football or soccer, from grassroots level upwards.

We hear from Jordan on what’s been done to break down cultural barriers to participation in the sport, and we find out how Brazil, one of the world’s most historically successful male footballing countries, has transformed its relationship with the women’s game.

Guests: Former footballer Haneen Khateeb and Julia Pimenta, head of delegations and programmes at the Street Child United initiative
