Emma Byrne : "The first time I felt that we are equal!" | Life at Lewes | Off The Ball

Last week our reporter Ben Symes travelled up to Reykjavik, the capital city of Iceland to get some more insight into the background of the Irish men’s national team manager Heimir Hallgrímsson from his fellow natives. While up there Ben also travelled to some of the now world famous indoor footballing facilities that are dotted around the tundra landscape across the island, and found out that they’re not just used for football…Ben also met Icelandic football journalist Jóhann Ingi Hafþorsson who gave a little bit of insight into the 2021 scandal that saw the entire Icelandic FA board resign in disgrace.
