Women’s World Football Show, Episode 88 features exclusive interviews with Melbourne Victory midfielder Christine Nairn; Canterbury United Pride player Holly Pascoe; Former USWNT midfielder Angela Hucles; and German sports journalist Jana Lange.

Women’s World Football Show‘s last episode of the year is packed with football presents! First up, we welcome the ever-popular midfielder Christine Nairn! A revelation in both the NWSL and in Australia’s Westfield WLeague, Christine has become a powerful presence in both leagues over the years.

After a standout career at Penn State University, Nairn was drafted in the first-ever NWSL College Draft in 2013 by Seattle Reign FC. She’s been living her dream ever since, traveling the world as a professional footballer. In this thoughtful interview, Christine shares how she discovered the love of the game and how a little girl’s dream of playing pro soccer became a reality (despite the doubters!).

Taking teams on her back and collecting fans over two continents, no one is helping to grow the women’s game more than Christine Nairn! Christine discusses the changes she’s seen in the women’s game Down Under, her thoughts on Melbourne City and how Melbourne Victory will turn the tide on the season.

Back stateside, Christine has recently been traded from her hometown team Washington Spirit back to the team that originally drafted her in Seattle. She gives us her thoughts on the trade, her time in Washington and the exciting future of playing for Laura Harvey once again. You know her name, now take a listen and get to know the person – Christine Nairn! (04:54)
