Leading a Mari dance

Marissa Callaghan is the subject of Electric Ireland’s latest Game Changers initiative to celebrate the ongoing rise of women’s football across the country.

The Cliftonville legend and Northern Ireland captain tells her story as part of a campaign to break down the perceptions that exist around women’s football, celebrate female football talent and, most importantly, help boost participation rates.

A trailblazing force for the game at Club and international level, Callaghan is set to add to her impressive caps tally when Northern Ireland face the Faroe Islands in a Euro 2022 qualifier in Torshavn later this week.
