Tobin Heath and Christen Press won’t be playing in the World Cup this summer, but they will be talking about it a whole lot.
Heath and Press have been announced as co-hosts of “The RE–CAP Show,” a digital program that is scheduled to run after U.S. women’s national team games in the upcoming World Cup.
The duo were members of the USWNT’s World Cup-winning squads in 2015 and 2019, but neither has played at all this year. Heath departed OL Reign at the end of last season after making just five appearances, while Press just announced she is set to undergo a fourth knee operation as she continues her recovery from a torn ACL suffered in June 2022.
The RE–CAP Show is from the new media division of RE—INC, the brand that Press and Heath founded with fellow World Cup winners Meghan Klingenberg and Megan Rapinoe.
“The RE–CAP Show is the antithesis of your typical sports broadcast commentary. It is an unfiltered, women-led resource that will highlight the perspectives of players who have dedicated their lives to soccer and know the game best,” Heath said in a press release. “This is the first time we haven’t competed in 15 years, so we’re fired up to support our team from the sidelines. The RE–CAP Show is here to give our fans what they crave – our unfiltered opinions, what really goes on at world championships, and what the biggest moments truly feel like.”
Press added: “We have always aimed to be a purposeful brand that creates social impact. What makes RE–INC different is that we have never been shy about our ethos and putting our quest for equality in women’s soccer, and women’s sports more broadly, front and center. The RE–CAP Show will be an extension of this mission to level the playing field for all, while amplifying the voices of women in sports.”
The first episode is set to drop on Thursday, which will preview the World Cup. The show will be available on YouTube, as well as various social media and podcast platforms.
