World Football

World Football is a unique half-hour programme bringing listeners up-to-date with the issues, stories and passion behind the world’s most popular sport.
Alan Green, the legendary British commentator and football expert, brings the listener an international perspective on the world of football.

In the week that Chelsea receive a transfer ban from FIFA, World Football hears of how homegrown talent is under threat.

Elsewhere, we bring you a special, in-depth report from Ghana. Having made their debut at the 2006 World Cup finals in Germany, the West African nation stands on the brink of qualifying for the 2010 edition in South Africa.

And, the organisers of the FIFA Club World Cup - which this year takes place in the UAE - are hoping to boost attendances by introducing more women-only areas.
