In this special Football For Kids episode, we follow the Argentina legend from his very first World Cup appearance as an 18-year-old wonderkid in Germany in 2006, all the way to the dramatic road towards Russia 2018. Discover how Messi scored a goal and created another on his World Cup debut, why he could only watch from the bench as Argentina were knocked out by Germany, and how he returned four years later as one of the most famous footballers on the planet. We explore the buzzing vuvuzelas of South Africa 2010, the crushing defeat to Germany, and Messi's magical performances in Brazil in 2014, where Argentina came agonisingly close to lifting the trophy. There are dramatic late goals, penalty shootouts, heartbreak and a brilliant hat-trick in Ecuador that helped rescue Argentina's World Cup dream. This is Lionel Messi's World Cup story: Part 1.

In this Football For Kids episode, we continue the incredible journey of Arsenal and England star Bukayo Saka. From becoming one of Arsenal's most important players, to leading the team, shining in the Champions League, standing tall for England at Euro 2024, battling back from injury and helping Arsenal become Premier League champions, this is a story packed with football, courage, kindness and never giving up. We look at Saka's biggest Arsenal moments, his England bravery, his amazing comeback from injury, his goals, assists, Champions League nights, Premier League title race drama and the attitude that has made him one of the most loved footballers in the world. This is not just a football podcast episode about Bukayo Saka. It is a screen-free football story for kids about hard work, resilience, family, faith, humility and believing in yourself even when things get tough. Perfect for young footballers, Arsenal fans, England fans, football-mad kids, parents looking for inspiring football podcasts for children, and families who love stories from the beautiful game. Because Bukayo Saka's story teaches us something powerful: you do not have to be the loudest to lead, you do not have to be perfect to be great, and you do not have to win every battle to become a champion. Sometimes greatness begins with one simple thing. You keep going. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this Football For Kids Classic episode, Darren Rees looks back on one of the wildest Premier League seasons ever, full of champions, shocks, relegation drama, record breakers and emotional goodbyes. Arsenal are Premier League champions again after 22 long years! We look at how Mikel Arteta's side finally brought the title back to North London, with David Raya winning the Golden Glove, Viktor Gyökeres scoring important goals, and Arsenal turning corners into their secret football superpower. But while Arsenal celebrated, other clubs suffered heartbreak. West Ham United were relegated despite beating Leeds United on the final day, Burnley dropped straight back down, and Wolves finished bottom after a miserable season. Tottenham Hotspur, meanwhile, survived by the skin of their teeth after a nerve-shredding final-day win over Everton. We also explore the players who made Premier League history: Erling Haaland winning another Golden Boot, Bruno Fernandes breaking the single-season assist record, and Fulham vs Manchester City producing a bonkers nine-goal thriller at Craven Cottage. And then come the goodbyes. Pep Guardiola leaves Manchester City after 10 incredible years. Bernardo Silva says farewell. Mohamed Salah waves goodbye to Liverpool after becoming one of Anfield's greatest ever heroes. This is a fun screen-free football podcast episode for kids, parents and Premier League fans of all ages. Joy, heartbreak, goals, drama, trophies, trapdoors and goosebumps. Because football never really ends. It just catches its breath… and starts again. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Travel back to Milan in 1910… a city of smoke, noise, and hard work… where a young boy grows up kicking a ball made of rags on cobbled streets. After losing his father in World War One, Giuseppe helps his mum at a busy market… but his heart belongs to football. You'll hear how he played barefoot, wrapped his feet in cloth, and refused to give up… even going on hunger strike just to follow his dream. From hidden shoes to his very first pair of football boots… from rejection by AC Milan to being discovered by Inter Milan… this is a story of resilience, courage, and pure love for the game.
