On this episode of A Level Playing Field, Alison McConnell and Cheryl Smith discuss an interview with Scotland and Real Madrid midfielder Caroline Weir.

Caroline takes us inside her unforgettable Ballon d’Or experience, sharing what it was really like to be nominated among the world’s best and the surreal feeling of returning home to Dunfermline, where seeing her mural made her feel like a 15-year-old kid again.

She also looks ahead to Scotland’s upcoming men’s clash with Brazil in Miami, explaining why she’s making the trip and what it means to see Scottish football on the global stage. The conversation turns to the Scotland women’s World Cup qualification campaign, with Caroline discussing her hopes and belief as the journey begins in March.

Elsewhere, Caroline opens up about awaiting the decision on the Scotland captaincy, the responsibility that comes with leadership, and her passion beyond the pitch with her new venture, Sported, aimed at supporting young people through sport.

An honest, inspiring episode with one of Scotland’s biggest footballing talents — on ambition, home, and what comes next.
