I Gave Up Football For 20 Years | The Grassroots Hotline Podcast Ep. 12

This week on the Grassroots Hotline Podcast, we’re joined by Yasmin Hussain - Head Coach at Frenford & MSA Women's FC and someone helping create opportunities in grassroots football that simply didn’t exist when she was growing up. Recorded at Wembley Stadium, Yasmin shares her journey from being forced to stop playing football at 13 because there was nowhere for her to play, to returning to the game 20 years later and helping build opportunities for hundreds of women and girls. This conversation is a reminder of why grassroots football matters so much. Behind every session, every volunteer and every club, there are people creating opportunities that can genuinely change lives. We discuss: Growing up loving football but having nowhere to play Starting a coaching journey later in life Building confidence in environments where you don’t see people like yourself Creating pathways for women and girls in football Coaching, leadership and community Why representation matters in grassroots football How football can bring people together across backgrounds and cultures Yasmin’s story is one of resilience, community and showing that one opportunity can create hundreds more.
