Women’s World Football Show presents an exclusive interview with ever-inspiring Ella Masar-McLeod. Ella updates us on her latest move to FC Rosengård in Sweden. It’s been an interesting journey for the fan-favorite footballer – from her short stint playing in France to her NWSL playing days, Ella brings to light some of the more interesting experiences in her career. Off the pitch, the journey has been no less interesting, as she discusses everything from her marriage to Canada National Team goalkeeper Erin McLeod to becoming a Canadian citizen.

Ella also discusses her eloquently-penned blog post, which sparked a conversation that was way overdue and showed why love is stronger than hate. Ella lives her truth, and for that she has become a role model on and off the pitch.
