Today on the Dream Teams podcast, we are genuinely honoured to be joined by one of the true pioneers and leaders in Canadian football (soccer) - Andrea Neil.
Andrea's legacy spans over 18 years with the Canadian women's national team. She's a Canadian Soccer Hall of Famer with an incredible 132 international caps, was the first Canadian to compete in four FIFA Women's World Cups, and helped guide Canada to a historic fourth place finish in 2003.
Her jersey number five has been retired by the Vancouver Whitecaps, and her impact has been recognised across Canada in countless ways.
Beyond her playing career, Andrea has become a highly respected coach, mentor, and advocate for ethical leadership in sport. She holds coaching licenses and continues to shape the game both on and off the pitch.
Andrea shares her incredible Dream Team built around the concept of \"football not fight ball\", and we explore the difference between domination and partnership models in sport and leadership.
Hosts Lorne Magill and Nora Beqaj are best friends and co-founders of Gals FC, the football club that exists to give gals a good time. Find out more about our club and follow our journey to becoming the household name for non-competitive football on Instagram @gals.fc
