BBC Women's Football Weekly

What the report says

BBC Sport Football’s Women’s Football Weekly episode focuses on London City Lionesses, the Women’s Super League club often described as a disruptor, with hosts Ellen White and Ben Haines broadcasting from the club’s home base. The main guest is Spain defender Jana Fernandez, who talks about the team’s changing mentality this season, how the club is trying to grow its support, and her own form for London City.

According to BBC’s episode description, Fernandez also discusses the competitive atmosphere in training, including who she is facing most intensely ahead of London City’s league match against Arsenal at the weekend. The conversation places the club’s progress in the context of a busy period in the WSL, with the hosts also previewing other key fixtures that could affect the title race.

The episode also features a brief interview with Fernandez’s teammate Alexia Putellas after her third Ballon d’Or win, adding a wider European women’s football angle. BBC’s listing suggests the show is using current on-pitch results, squad development and fan growth at London City to explore how the club is reshaping expectations in the league. As a podcast episode rather than a match report, it offers analysis and behind-the-scenes discussion rather than fresh news updates.
