<p>In this podcast, I speak to four people involved in the telling of the story of Argentinian club Newell's Old Boys. Founded in 1903, the Rosario-based club was inspired to play by the influence of Isaac Newell, born in Kent, England, who moved to Argentina and set up a school where football and physical education complemented academic studies. </p> <p>In this podcast, we hear from (in order):</p> <ul> <li>Adrian Pope, who has been campaigning for a statue of Isaac Newell in his hometown of Strood for more than 20 years</li> <li>Amanda J. Thomas, who's writing a biography of Isaac Newell</li> <li>Jon Rye, who curated an exhibition about Newell in 2022</li> <li>Margarita Newell, great-great-granddaughter of Isaac Newell and great-granddaughter of Claudio Newell, the club's founder</li> </ul> <p> </p>

<p>I am joined by <a href= "https://bsky.app/profile/drpetewatson.bsky.social" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dr Pete Watson</a> from the University of Leeds, and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/karenarizacarranza" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Karen Ariza Carranza</a>, journalist, founder of <a href= "https://www.tribunakrizol.com/quienes-somos" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">Tribuna Krizol</a> - a platform to promote social change in sports and the participation of Colombian women in sports - and she's also an International Olympic Committee young leader.</p> <p>We're looking at the role of women's football within Colombia as an agent for change. In this episode, we cover:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><strong>The Rise of Women's Football in Colombia:</strong> We look at the historical context of women's football in Colombia, and its growing significance both nationally and internationally.</li> <li><strong>The Development of Women's Football in Colombia:</strong> We explore how women's football in Colombia has developed later than the men's game, with the first professional league only established in 2017.</li> <li><strong>The Global Stage:</strong> We highlight the importance of international tournaments, particularly Colombia’s 2015 Women's World Cup victory over France, in boosting visibility and media attention for the sport.</li> <li><strong>'Critical Visibility Moments':</strong> We analyse the role of 'critical visibility moments', where women's football gains media traction, often when the men's team underperforms or is absent from major competitions.</li> <li><strong>Club Structures in Colombia:</strong> We examine how club football remains structurally weak, with a lack of investment, limited teams, and dependence on men's clubs for survival.</li> <li><strong>The Role of Linda Caicedo:</strong> We discuss the growing impact of key figures like Linda Caicedo, an Afro-Colombian player who overcame cancer to become a global star, now playing for Real Madrid.</li> <li><strong>Growing Media Attention:</strong> We acknowledge that while women's football in Colombia has gained more mainstream media coverage, it still faces systemic challenges, including gender inequality, inadequate funding, and inconsistent broadcasting.</li> <li><strong>How Does Colombian Women's Football Compare with its Latin American Peers?:</strong> We compare Colombia’s success in women’s football to Argentina’s struggles, positioning Colombia as the second-strongest team in South America behind Brazil.</li> <li><strong>Activism is Making a Difference:</strong> We emphasise the role of grassroots activism, independent media, and journalists advocating for greater representation and support for the women’s game.</li> <li><strong>What Does the Future Hold?:</strong> We conclude by considering the future of Colombian women's football, noting its potential to rival Brazil, provided the necessary structural and financial support is secured from the federation and clubs.</li> </ul>
