Facebook Watch announced a slew of new sports programming centered around the women’s soccer World Cup, the cricket World Cup, Australian sports, and a renewal of Ball in the Family for a fifth season.
The Players’ Tribune has teamed with U.S. women’s national team members Megan Rapinoe and Lindsey Horan on a new program called Generations. Rapinoe is the team’s 33-year-old co-captain now competing in her third World Cup while Horan, 25, is making her Cup debut. Each scored a goal in Tuesday’s tournament opener, a 13-0 drubbing of Thailand. The show is a docuseries centered on the prelude to the World Cup and the players’ lives outside soccer, including Rapinoe’s high-profile equal rights activism.
