Rio Ferdinand took to social media ahead of Sunday’s eagerly anticipated Euro 2025 final between England and Spain to question why one key BBC pundit was absent
Rio Ferdinand made it clear that he was less than impressed with the fact that Fara Williams was not part of the BBC’s coverage of the Euro 2025 final between England and Spain.
Williams, 41, is a Lionesses icon and has been a constant presence throughout the BBC’s coverage of the tournament. But she was not part of Sunday’s line-up for the pre-game build-up, which led to Ferdinand questioning the decision.
The former Manchester United and England defender tweeted: “How’s @fara_williams47 not on the @BBCSport coverage”.
Williams is England’s most capped player after representing her country a staggering 172 times during a stellar playing career.
And since hanging up her boots she has enjoyed a fine punditry career and is a regular on the BBC, who have covered the tournament alongside ITV this summer.
Sarina Wiegman’s side are bidding to retain their European crown when they meet Spain in Sunday’s showpiece final having won the previous tournament in 2022.
The match is a repeat of the 2023 World Cup final, which Spain won 1-0.
