The Drop In: Lise Klaveness and how to fix football

Today, we’re joined by one of the women who is shaking up football’s elite.

12 months ago, President of Norway’s Football Association Lise Klaveness delivered a devastating speech at the annual FIFA Congress criticising the awarding of the World Cup to Qatar and all the repercussions that followed. We drop in with Lise a year on and she lifts the lid for us on how football is really run.
