Arsenal great Wright has told GIVEMESPORT of why Baller League appeals to him, with matches being streamed online as they blend football, entertainment and culture: “This is something that, if I was younger, I’d have loved. It’s real, skills, instinct and end-to-end football. This is what six-a-side is meant to be.”
Lehmann has said of getting involved, having also coached in the German version of the event: “I want to create this family that we go out there and play for each other.” On the message that she is hoping to send out to a young audience, the Swiss added: “Never give up. Always believe in yourself and do what makes you happy.”
