Podcast appearances and mentions of Diana Matheson

Every aspect of Christina Litz's career had prepared her for a call she received from Diana Matheson. Diana – a Canadian soccer legend – knew there was nobody better to help bring her vision of a professional domestic women's league to life. That vision officially manifested on the pitch on April 16th at BC Place in Vancouver. While the home squad prevailed 1-nil over Calgary Wild FC, that was likely secondary to the culmination of years of planning to launch this vital league. In this episode, you'll hear about Christina's incredible path from Lawyer to media exec to sports business leader. How you prep for the launch of a new league - a league that will provide a pathway and a north star for so many girls in this country. From the sport development and player signing side to broadcast and content to marketing. Their mission statement: To become a top 5 league in the world. The story of Farkhunda Muhtaj and her incredible journey from Afghanistan to becoming the first player signed by Calgary Wild FC. The importance of gathering best practices from other women's sports properties, including Angel City FC. The value of corporate partnerships – including Canadian Tire and the power they have in the women's sports ecosystem. And some wonderful mentorship stories and professional development advice. Insightful and inspiring. I hope you enjoy.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, Canadian Premier League, Northern Super League, and Canadian national team chat. What a weekend of disappointment it was for both lower mainland teams, as Vancouver Whitecaps couldn't avoid the MLS Wild Card game and Vancouver FC couldn't make the CPL playoffs at all. We kick the show off with a look at the Whitecaps stuttering into the postseason, their latest loss to RSL, and the tough task ahead on Wednesday down in Portland in the play-in game. Can they suddenly re-find their spark and who should be the guys trusted to do that? We also look at the BC Place stadium debacle that has seen the 'Caps have to play their earned home game on the road - the latest in a long line of PR headaches for the club this pivotal anniversary year. Moving on to the CPL, we look at how the last weekend of the regular season played out and look ahead to the postseason. One that saw joy for Pacific as they clinched a playoff berth and heartbreak for Vancouver, as their season came to an end. Where did it all go wrong for VFC after such a good start and what changes need to be made?

Si l'équipe des hommes a bénéficié d'un soutien financier conséquent pour la coupe du monde au Qatar, les joueuses canadiennes subissent des coupes budgétaires juste avant leur propre coupe du monde organisée cet été en Australie et en Nouvelle-Zélande. Les joueuses ont alors décidé de faire grève, se sentant lésée comparé à leurs homologues masculins. Il y a cinq ans déjà, Diana Matheson, une ancienne internationale canadienne, parlait des difficultés financières des footballeuses de son pays. Malgré leurs notoriétés, certaines joueuses étaient parfois forcées d'habiter chez leurs parents pour arriver à boucler leur fin de mois.La grève n'a pas pourtant pas duré longtemps : dès le lendemain, elle s'arrête, car pour la fédération, l'action syndicale est illégale. L'instance a même menacé l'équipe féminine de poursuites judiciaires… Un podcast de Silouane Bourel. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Welcome back to another episode of the Third Sub Podcast presented by Macey's Sports! In this episode, Alex and Sam are back, as usual, this time to dive into all things Canadian and Vancouver soccer. To begin, they start on the Canadian side of the ledger, as they dive into the big news from the last month, that being the participation of the CanMNT at the 2022 men's FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Things didn't end up going as planned there for Canada, unfortunately, but there was still a lot to dive into from that, especially when you look forward to what is still on the horizon for this young team. After, they dive into some big women's soccer news, that being the impending launch of a professional women's soccer league in Canada starting in 2025, thanks to the work of Diana Matheson's Project 8 Sports. They look at what this league could mean for the state of the sport in Canada, and what will need to happen for it to work, allowing for a successful launch in two years time. Then, continuing on, they then shift their attention to the recent Whitecaps news. From a new arrival, to a couple of key departures, along with some interesting rumours, they dive into the latest transfer news about the 'Caps, as they begin to shape their 2023 squad. Lastly, they look at the other Vancouver team that will be playing in 2023 - the CPL's Vancouver FC, who made their first signing in club history this week, something that they take the time to dive into, seeing what it means for the new club.

Sparked by the conversation around football legend Lionel Messi leaving FC Barcelona after 21 years, Brenda Elsey, Shireen Ahmed and Lindsay Gibbs talk about gratitude, loyalty and the idea that athletes should owe anything to coaches, teams, organizations or fans. They discuss how the media demonizes athletes who leave teams and how often these stories are gendered and racialized. They also discuss player unions and labor organizing, how loyalty between an athlete and a team is not a two-way street and their favorite sports "fairytales" about loyalty. Then, Shireen previews her interview with Diana Matheson, Canadian Women's National Soccer Team stalwart. They discuss her recent retirement, the building of this program and a possible Canadian league and if, in fact, history was made right at the Olympics.  Next, they burn all the garbage in sports this week on the Burn Pile. Then they celebrate those shining light and changing sports for the good, including Torchbearer's of the Week: Jewell Loyd, Sue Bird, and Breanna Stewart who won gold with Team USA in Tokyo on Saturday night, and then just 4 days later helped lead the Seattle Storm win the first-ever WNBA Commissioner's Cup Championship. They wrap up the show with what's good in their lives and what they are watching in sports this week. This episode was produced by Tressa Versteeg.

A history-creating guest. Midfielder Diana Matheson's stoppage time goal against France at the London Olympics in 2012 gave Canada a bronze medal. She backed that up with a second Olympic bronze at Rio. Matheson has more than 200 Caps with the Canadian National team. Four World Cups. Three Olympics. Team Canada since 2003. She plays professionally for the Utah Royals...and along the way she also picked up an economics degree from Princeton. There's a good news - bad news story in Diana Matheson's 2019 FIFA campaign. The bad news is, a foot injury has sidelined her for the duration of the tournament. The positive spin on that is she's freed up to provide expert colour commentary on the tournament, and help give viewers insights on Team Canada's mindset, throughout the World Cup.

What we cover: “If you want something badly enough, you don’t make sacrifices. You make choices.” – Rhian Wilkinson Today’s Guest Titan chat is a wee bit of a deviation from the norm – and I am so glad about it. Today, I have a guest co-host in the form of 12-year-old Alex Vietch, herself a serious athlete – she’s a track star and a soccer freak, in a good way. She asked me once if I ever were to interview one of the women from Team Canada, if she could maybe come and say hi, but we did one better. When I found out that Rhian Wilkinson, 3-time Olympian and today’s Guest Titan was up for it, I asked Alex if she wouldn’t mind being my co-host. And, because Alex is one of those kids who personifies carpe diem, of course she was in! The impact of women athletes on the positive self-image of young girls and boys – because they too get to see another definition of what it means to be a powerful, strong woman – cannot be understated. To that end, I want to give a shout-out to two of my young friends on the east coast of Canada as well – a big hello to Elle and Lauren Davidson, sisters who themselves are so into the game of soccer in the province of New Brunswick. It was a bit of a coincidence really, on the day I interviewed Rhian – who is the aunt of one of my daughter’s friends – she was on her way back east to run a camp with teammates and today business colleagues within the scope of their incredible enterprise called iS4 -- Christine Sinclair, Karina LeBlanc, Diana Matheson. Well, turns out, one of my oldest and best friends, Alison, had put her two rock star daughters in the camp – and Alison told me that as a mother, she was moved to tears. That our girls are so privileged to have exposure to these resilient, accomplished women – women who teach girls that they are not to be relegated to the sidelines, that to be strong and powerful is the only option, that to work one another – our sisters on the field and off – is a surefire way to build a network and a life of support and love and memories and empowerment. I was so thrilled to have Alex join us for this important conversation. If you are a parent, this is one for the kids too. If you’re going on a road trip, or running errands, have this one on in the car.  MJDionne.com

The 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup kicks off a month to this very day in Edmonton (hopefully without any snow). With the eyes of the world's game focusing on Canada for a month or so, we thought we'd get you in the mood with the first of two Canadian Women's National Team special podcasts that we'll be bringing your way before the tournament kicks off. We'll be talking with a number of different aspects to the CWNT - coaches, players and fans. Kicking things off is head coach John Herdman, who talks a little bit about some of the players announced to his World Cup squad and what the thrills of playing at home will mean to him and the team. We kick off our chats with the players with our first ever CWNT "Teammates" section, as Emily Zurrer shares some insights and home truths about the team. Who has the worst dress sense? Who's the most intelligent? And who takes the longest in the shower and in front of the bathroom mirror? All this and more inside info! One name that cropped up a few times in Emily's "Teammates" section (and Karina Leblanc's which you'll hear in another episode) was midfielder Rhian Wilkinson. Now, I have to admit here, Rhian was my particular favourite player we spoke with for these two podcasts. She was great fun to chat with (not the others weren't, but we could have chatted with her for way longer than we did!) and we covered a whole host of topics including what playing a World Cup in Canada means to her, the learning process from tournaments past and whether a coaching role is in her plans after she finishes playing. Away from the playing side we find out about her podcast habits, her childhood without television and playing so many other sports, whose Panini sticker she carried around and we try and get her to write for us here at AFTN (the offer of which is still open Rhi!!). Taking a break from the players for a few minutes, we chat with one of the leading lights of the Voyageurs supporters' group of west, Curva Collective member Zachary Meisenheimer. Zach talks to us about what having the tournament here means to the fans and how they plan to support not just the CWNT but the whole tournament. One of the newest faces in the squad is Allysha Chapman. After only getting her first senior cap last October, the 26-year-old is now set to play a World Cup on home soil. We talk to Allysha about her journey, what it was like coming into such a close knit group, playing in Sweden, how hard it is to keep hold of mascots hands, her love of Maple Leafs and maple butter, and we find out who sent her an email saying "we're watching you"! A player who was touch and go to make the World Cup roster was one of our particular favourite players, Diana Matheson. The midfield dynamo talks to us about her recovery from her two injuries, the x-factor John Herdman brings to the team, what the girls learned from the 2011 World Cup and 2012 Olympic experiences, dealing with the mental pressures and advantages of playing a World Cup on home soil and her Netflix habits. And there's still time for some more jam talk, this time with Erin McLeod and Karina Leblanc, the youngest player on the squad, striker Jessie Fleming and midfielder Desiree Scott. Have a listen!
