Fatima Walsh is a Sports Event Manager at Venues Live. But her journey into the sports industry started by serving beers and pies in the food kiosk at Wembley Stadium.

From working with the England National Football Team at FIFA World Cups, to bringing game day to life every week for the Central Coast Mariners in the A-League, Fatima opens up on how getting thrown in the deep end helped her become an Event Manager who can adapt to any challenge that comes her way on game day.

The ‘Beyond the Game’ podcast series has been developed in collaboration with the New South Wales Office of Sport. Part of the Her Future in Sport initiatives, we’re helping the Office of Sport to light the spark of inspiration in young women and adolescent girls to show the breadth of interesting and fulfilling careers across the broader sports sector.

From creative to curious, scientific to sporty, we want every girl to see that there is a place for her in a sports career.
