Diletta Leotta has spent years standing in front of cameras at Italy’s stadiums, but they don’t always pay attention to her for what she says. 🎙️



In an interview with The Guardian, the journalist for DAZN Italia and Radio 105 spoke candidly about what covering football as a woman entails: comments about her appearance, constant pressure, and her hope that things will change for those who come after her.



Her message was direct: she wants to pave the way so that the next generation of women journalists is judged by their work, not their image. A story that hits hard in a sport that still has a great deal to change ⚽💪
