This week we have lots on the Women's Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco – Piers is there and he tells us about the stadiums and the atmosphere.Also we speak to Nigerian defender Benjamin Fredrick, one of the hottest young African players in England, who was named Brentford U21s Players' Player of the Year last season. And Stuart takes a look at football and celebrity, with a profile of Manchester United legend David Beckham, and also focuses on Beckham's astuteness in business.

The Orlando Pride don't play another game for a few more weeks, but that doesn't mean stuff isn't happening with the club. Haley Carter has been busy, and we discuss the club picking up the 2026 option year for a couple of players and signing some other players to new contracts. It was a tidy run of business for Orlando.Additionally, the club sent a whopping five players out on loan for the rest of the 2025 season. These were not Pride players who were getting minutes, so it can only help them, but it kind of feels like we'll never see some of them in Pride purple again. This week's mailbagbox has a lot of questions. In fact, it has double-digit questions, and that was just from one of our listeners! Is it bragging to say we were up to the challenge? Well, we were, so it doesn't matter if it's bragging. At any rate, it wasn't just one person asking questions, but it was one person asking a lot of them.

Barbra Banda had a great start to the international break, while hopefully Prisca Chilufya and Grace Chanda are gaining much-needed confidence and improving their form ahead of their return to NWSL play in early August.If you'd like to support our independent writing and podcasting efforts, we'd love to have you as a subscriber or donor over at our Buy Me a Coffee site.Here's how Episode 93 went down:0:15 – The Pride sign a couple of players, pick up the options on a couple of others, and loan a handful out.17:45 - The mailbagbox is celebrating the summer break with volume, volume, volume!48:11 - Pride players get back to international play in WAFCON.
