Women's sport: with Rachel Taylor, Stacey Copeland and Gavin Makel

The summer of 2019 was all about women’s football – with all eyes on the Women’s World Cup. But while the tournament captured international imagination, the sport itself has been slowly and steadily growing in popularity away from the spotlight. With women banned from playing professional football until 1971 in the UK, there’s a lot of catching up to do to achieve gender parity. In this everywoman podcast episode, we talk to Gavin Makel, Head of Women’s Football at Manchester City FC about the challenges of evolving the game, and how investment and attention is now creating a strong business case for the women’s game, turning it into a real career path - and providing a passion for a whole new audience of football fans.

Ep. 24 - Manchester City’s Head of Women’s Football, Gavin Makel, on why the beautiful game is definitely one of two halves

In episode 27 we talk with the Head of Women's Football at Manchester City, Gavin Makel. Manchester City are trailblazers for the women's game with successes both on and off the pitch. They have also recently launched a new club wide campaign focused on promoting women's football.  We discuss the growth of the game, risk taking, authenticity, and the importance of having a coherent vision that fuels performance.  Gavin’s involvement in professional football goes back over ten years when he worked within the football operation of the Manchester City’s community foundation. In his current role as Head of Women’s Football at Manchester City he is responsible for the business operation of the organisation which encompasses player recruitment, marketing, commercial, finance management and match day operations. He sits on the European Club Association Women’s Football Committee Bureau and is currently undertaking a Masters in Sports Directorship at Manchester Metropolitan University. Commenting on the women’s team set up, Gavin has stated: ‘We are here to challenge and change the perception of women’s football. We are professionalising a sport which traditionally hasn’t received the support or resource it has deserved’.
