It was announced last month that the legendary Masters Football will return to TV screens this year, delighting fans across the country.

Sports documentary streaming site 360 Sports TV announced it would be rebooting the event, starting with a tournament in Glasgow on July 8th.

The tournament is set to feature players from Celtic, Rangers, Liverpool and Manchester United, with Paul Scholes, Steve McManaman, Michael Mols and Wes Brown all touted to play.

A full, major tournament with regional heats is also being planned for 2023, and this event could well feature women’s football legends.

It has been revealed to GiveMeSport Women that 360 Sports TV is currently speaking to Masters Football about the possibility of integrating female stars into the teams playing at next year’s competition.

It has not yet known which female footballing legends would take part, but plenty of England stars fit the bill, including Rachel Yankey, Fara Williams, Faye White, Kelly Smith, Alex Scott and Sue Smith.

International legends such as America’s Abby Wambach and Mia Hamm, Germany’s Birgit Prinz and China’s Sun Wen could also be involved.

Masters Football was last shown in 2011, having started on Sky Sports in 2000.

With retired players over the age of 35 able to take part, Roy Keane, Bryan Robson, Andy Cole, Ally McCoist and Matt Le Tissier were often among the star-studded line-ups for the popular six-a-side event.

Founder and producer of 360 Sports TV, John Warrington, previously revealed the new edition of Masters Football would feature “new ideas”.

“Masters Football was always pioneering; for example, it was the first football tournament as far as we know to use a version of VAR back in 2009,” he said.

“Our production team is working on new ideas and ways to engage an audience and coverage of the 360 Sports TV Masters will be a superb viewer experience.”

Masters Football will be available to watch on 360 Sports TV, the world’s first subscription streaming service dedicated to sports documentaries.
