In this episode, LDG interviews Emilía Kiær Ásgeirsdóttir, a forward for RB Leipzig and the Icelandic women's national team.

Emilía also discusses her goals at the club and country levels moving forward, the Frauen Bundesliga's separation from the German Football Federation, what it means to represent Iceland internationally, and takes us behind the scenes into Iceland's quest to qualify for their first-ever senior Women's World Cup.
