A day with Wellington Phoenix: New Zealand’s only professional club

Join Maz Farookhi as she travels to Wellington Phoenix, New Zealand’s only professional football club to see the impact of the Women’s World Cup.

The club was founded in 2007 but the women’s team was only formed two years ago.

Maz chats with Phoenix head coach Paul Temple and Katie Barrott, female development lead at the club about what it’s like running the only professional women’s team in the country and how the World Cup will change New Zealand’s relationship with football.
