The company has pledged to ensure its production team is at least 50 per cent female

The BBC has appointed Whisper to produce its coverage of this summer’s UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 tournament.

Whisper already produces the FA Women’s Super League and the Women’s FA Cup for the BBC.

The company has pledged to ensure its production team is at least 50 per cent female, including Jemma Archer as editor, Kay Satterley as production executive, Bethan Evans as director of production and Kirstie Bennett as creative lead. The team will be overseen by Whisper MD Mark Cole.

The tournament kicks off with the match between England and Austria at Old Trafford on 6th July, with the final at Wembley Stadium on 31st July.

Speaking about Whisper’s plans for the tournament, Cole said: “It’s a huge year for women’s sport and it’s great for Whisper to be at the heart of one of the biggest moments of the summer. We are hugely passionate about women’s football and excited about partnering with the BBC to deliver engaging coverage to big audiences with moments that unite the nation.

“We really hope our creative films, expert storytelling and innovative broadcast solutions will make for engaging coverage and help ensure that BBC will be at the heart of a UK-wide festival of football that can inspire the next generation.”
