ALEX Scott has launched a new women’s football show following the cancellation of Football Focus.

After an impressive 52 years, BBC brought an end to the show in May.

Scott had only served as its presenter since 2021 and has made her next move away from the BBC.

She is now fronting her own show, produced by a company she founded earlier this year.

The 41-year-old has revealed she launched her own production firm in May called First Cap Productions.

One More Word: The WSL has now released its first episode with a live studio audience alongside guests Anita Asante and Fara Williams.

She has decided to launch the show on YouTube, as revealed in a statement on social media.

She explained: “Four months ago, I quietly set up First Cap Productions.

“No big announcement, no funding, no team round a table, just an idea, built on something I’ve always believed: Stepping into your own power for the first time.

“Your first cap. Your first opportunity. Your first time finding your voice and being brave enough to use it. That’s where First Cap came from.

As for the company’s debut show, Scott added: “For the last four months I’ve been building a new show in the background, something I can’t wait to share more information on with you soon.

“Then this past week I watched the women’s football community explode with opinions, frustration, ideas and passion and I thought: this is exactly why I started First Cap.

“Because sometimes you don’t need permission, you just need to say ‘right, let’s do it.’ So we did.

“One More Word WSL went from an idea to a real show. No funding, no big budget, no fancy studio, just people from the women’s football community who believed in it: building the set, bringing the equipment, sharing ideas, showing up, saying ‘I’m in,’ and I can’t thank you all enough.”

The show debuted on Monday, hot on the heels of the new WSL season kicking off.

Scott undoubtedly had a legendary career with 140 caps for the Lionesses, scoring 12 goals from right-back.

Her career also included three spells at Arsenal along with stints at Birmingham City and Boston Breakers, but she has focused on punditry since she quit the game in 2017.
