On this special edition of the Bloomberg Business of Sports: The Business of Soccer, host Vanessa Perdomo steps back into her old world and breaks down the goalkeeper position through the lens of two superstars.

• Briana Scurry, former USWNT goalkeeper, National Soccer Hall of Famer, two-time Olympic gold-medalist and member of the iconic 1999 Women’s World Cup champions, speaks to us about what it was like being the goalkeeper of the most famous women’s team in the world, being a trailblazer in women’s sports and the marketability of goalkeepers.
• Maarten Paes, FC Dallas goalkeeper and 2024 MLS All-star, discussed with us how he works to bring his leadership and competitive mentality from the field into his business deals, as well as discussing the growth he’s seen in soccer in the US and how he expects it to skyrocket after the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
