In this episode of the NEW ERA podcast, we speak with Zoe Johnson, Managing Director of Women’s and Girls’ Football at Brighton & Hove Albion, about her journey through the game and the club’s ambitious vision for the future.

Zoe shares how Brighton is building a top-four WSL team through world-class infrastructure, data-driven recruitment, and a collaborative leadership model. She reflects on her coaching roots, the importance of building strong relationships, and why backing from the board is key to removing barriers for women in football.

We also explore Brighton’s plans to become the first English club with a purpose-built stadium for a women’s team, and the work being done to nurture young talent.
