For the premier of the ‘The Rise of Women’s Football’ Vodcast, we are happy to welcome our first guest Dr Holger Blask, Chairman of the Management Board at the German Football Association (DFB). We find out more about his personal career path, his views on the development of women’s football, the DFB’s strategy with the Frauen-Bundesliga and the German bid for UEFA EURO 2029. You can find the full interview here.

Now the heads of all the clubs have joined forces to take matters into their own hands with the help of an agency.
