Ian Wright makes Premier League request in passionate speech after England Euro 2022 glory

“For me, someone like the Premier League take over, commercialising the WSL. We need to get more money into the women’s game in order to get more quality teams and start to really blast the women’s game.”

Wright says there is clearly the appetite for women’s football in the UK. But he does not want the success to stop at the Euros.

He said: “It will be [going around the world] because what they’ve shown is that there is an appetite here for it, an appetite here for the women’s game. We’re seeing politicians jump on, we’re seeing brands jump on, eating off the top of what they’ve done because of this tournament.

“But what you want to see, because you’ve got a World Cup coming up next year, you want to see them continuing to put money into the WSL, put money into the women’s game so they can continue to bring success for us. There’s too many people who will eat off the top of this.”
