ITV Names All-Female Team for Women’s Euros

Eni Aluko will return as a pundit for ITV’s coverage of the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025, joining an all-female team including Emma Hayes and Karen Carney. Ian Wright, who was previously part of ITV's coverage, has been omitted from the line-up following a public dispute with Aluko earlier in the year. Aluko apologized for her comments about Wright allegedly blocking female broadcasters, but Wright declined the apology and expressed the need for collective action to address systemic challenges in women's football. ITV stated that Wright's absence is not connected to his clash with Aluko, emphasizing his ongoing support for the women's game. The decision and surrounding controversy have intensified debate about gender representation and opportunities in football media. This development reflects ITV's continuing efforts to promote female voices in sports broadcasting.
