Anita Asante

On the eve of my 37th birthday, it's time to announce my retirement from football at the end of the season! I want to thank my family, team-mates, managers, fans & all the clubs I have played for. To say it's been a privilege is an understatement. It's been a dream❤️ #ThisGame

Special mention to Sarina Wiegman for her Outstanding Contribution to Sport Award and David Dein for Lifetime Achievement, two massively influential figures in football who have made an incredible impact on the game we love 🙌🏾🏆

My first @SportIndustry awards and what a night! ✨ An amazing evening celebrating the best of the sport industry and congrats to all the winners!
