Women's Euro 2022: Could it come home?

BBC World Service - Sportshour, Women's Euro 2022: Could it come home?

A preview the Women's Euros with Gill Coultard who played in the inaugural final in 1984

We preview the Women's Euros and chart the progress of the women's game with Gill Coultard, who played in the inaugural final of the competition in 1984.

It is a big month for women's football with four continental championships. The Women's Africa Cup of Nations kicks things off on Saturday before the hosts England take on Austria in the opening match of Euro 2022 on Wednesday. Gill Coultard  was part of the England side that lost to Sweden in the first ever final in 1984 and tells us how far the game has come in the past 38 years.  

As the Tour de France gets underway we are joined by the man with the best seat in the house. Seb Piquet watches the race from a communications car ahead of the riders relaying important information to teams, broadcasters and fans.   

British sprinter Anyika Onuora stood on the podium at every major championship in athletics. However, her new book My Hidden Race does not detail her sporting achievements. In the era of the Black Lives Matter and Me Too, it is a powerful account of what it takes to pursue your dreams as a Black woman in Britain. Nothing is off the record as Anyika is determined to finally speak out and use her story to inspire and heal others. 

Plus we are live at Wimbledon and at the much delayed Fifth Test between England and India.
