Double world champion Ashlyn Harris has highlighted the harsh financial realities of playing women's football, criticising the treatment of the USA team after the 2019 World Cup final.
The goalkeeper made an appearance on the International Women's Day episode of the Boardroom: Out of Office podcast, having retired late last year. Harris first made her debut for the USA team back in 2013 and went to two World Cups with her country, with the Americans prevailing in both.
Since her retirement at the end of last season Harris has moved into the boardroom of Gotham FC, her final club, as creative advisor. But in the conversation with entrepreneur Rich Kleiman, Harris, a former two-time Goalkeeper of the Year slammed the lack of help for retired players in the USA women's soccer system and how they were treated after lifting the trophy.
