Karen Carney on Strictly, Football & Finding Her Team Again | Barclays WSL

Fresh from the Strictly Come Dancing floor, Karen Carney returns to football with Barclays WSL for a powerful and personal conversation.

Karen reflects on life after retirement, why Strictly reminded her so much of being part of a football team, and how dance training compares to elite-level football. She opens up about missing the dressing room, the people, the buzz and why community matters so much in the women’s game.

From Birmingham City roots to trophy-laden spells at Arsenal and Chelsea, Karen shares stories about teammates, managers, role models and the moments that defined her career. She also discusses the support she received from women’s football during Strictly, the importance of belonging, and why the Barclays WSL is such a special and inclusive place for fans.
