Megan Rapinoe (USA, OL Reign): her and her basketball-playing fiancée Sue Bird are an Olympic couple if ever there was one! Sue Bird is about to compete in her fifth Olympics and try to bring back her fifth gold medal, whilst Megan has less Olympic gold but such accolades such as the Ballon D’Or and two world cups under her belt. With their questionable sense of style, endless Blu (Jordan’s dog) content, jokes about Jordan’s brain capacity from Leah and an overall level of supportiveness and respect in one another they are a couple to be loved both on and off the pitch. Leah Williamson (Team GB, Arsenal): another player on the long list of Arsenal gays, she’s very much an icon with a love for Arsenal and for the game only matched by her love to tease her girlfriend, teammate and another footballer left out of the GB squad, Jordan Nobbs. Tiane absolute legend of the game for her incredible saves, her ability to carry like five players at a time and her casual openness about being herself. Tiane Endler (Chile, Olympique Lyonnais): she recently made two life changing decisions - moving from PSG to rival club Lyon, and marrying her now wife Sofia. Shelina Zadorsky (Canada, Tottenham Hotspurs): her relationship with fellow Spurs player Rosella Ayane is still relatively new but they’ve already firmly established themselves as one of the cutest couples in futfem with their banter, incredible looks, podcast features, supportive messages and general sweetness. Lisa missed out on a Team GB ticket to Tokyo (#JusticeForLisa) but she’ll be sporting that orange shirt from home in London for sure! Not only is she an incredible footballer breaking records for club and country for years at this point, but she also has many off the pitch talents such as her incredible eyebrow raising skills, ability to take her teddybear everywhere she goes, be one half of the soft bros and the unmeasurable love and support she gives Lisa Evans who she met at Bayern Munich and they now play at Arsenal together (one of many gay footballing migrations) whilst working a side hussle as vloggers. Vivianne Miedema (Netherlands, Arsenal): the woman, the myth, the legend. NOTE: yes this list is over 65 players long so most follow after a cut We did this for the 2019 World Cup and now here we are again for an encore celebrating all the lesbian, bi and trans women’s football players at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics! I’ve tried my best to be as inclusive and thorough as possible but do let me know if I’ve overlooked anything at all :)) Right, without further ado and in no particular order, let’s jump in! Masterpost of all the openly LGBTQ+ women’s footballers at the Olympics (and their girlfriends/wives)
