The Guardian has claimed a double victory at this year's Football Supporters' Association (FSA) Awards, sweeping both podcast categories.
Women's Football Weekly, hosted by Faye Carruthers and Suzanne Wrack, took home the Women's Football Media of the Year award, celebrating outstanding work in women's football coverage. The podcast won over other notable outlets, with a six-outlet shortlist deemed to be "the best around for essential football audio".
Meanwhile, Football Weekly regained its Podcast of the Year crown after last year's loss to Football Ramble. Max Rushden, host of Football Weekly, jokingly expressed his delight on social media: "All is well with the world again."
This double victory marks a significant win for The Guardian in both podcast categories. The FSA Awards recognize not only exceptional football journalism but also hard work and dedication from fans, clubs, and supporters.
At the ceremony held at Nobu in central London, other winners included Declan Rice and Alessia Russo as Men's and Women's Player of the Year respectively, Lucy Ward for TV/Radio Pundit of the Year, and Peter Drury as Commentator of the Year. The awards also highlighted notable achievements from supporters' groups, clubs, and media outlets across the pyramid.
The FSA Chair, Tom Greatrex, praised winners such as Declan Rice and Alessia Russo, saying they are "unbelievable talents who have been brilliant for club and country". He also emphasized that the FSA Awards shine a light on often-overlooked work in football coverage, stating there is "so much good work going on out there".

, The Guardian's got an amazing team behind them. Women's Football Weekly is literally the best podcast out right now 
. Faye and Suzanne are so underrated, they deserve more recognition 
. Max Rushden's win isn't a surprise either, he's been hosting Football Weekly for ages and knows his stuff like the back of his hand 
. It's great to see The Guardian taking home both podcast awards, it shows they're really committed to covering football from all angles 
. And congrats to Declan Rice and Alessia Russo on their Player of the Year wins, they're absolute legends on the pitch 
!
. And congrats to all the winners, Declan Rice and Alessia Russo are total boss 
. It's awesome that The Guardian is getting the recognition they deserve for their great work in football coverage 
. I'm loving the vibe of this year's FSA Awards ceremony at Nobu, it looks like so much fun 
it was like, these crispy little fried chicken bites and they were SO GOOD!!! anyway back to this news... so The Guardian won all those podcast awards? like what does that even mean? is it a big deal? how many people listen to their podcasts? 
! Women's Football Weekly and Football Weekly must be doing something right. Faye Carruthers and Suzanne Wrack are literally the queen bees of women's football media 
. And congrats to Max Rushden on his Podcast of the Year win 
, all is indeed well with the world again!
:
. don't get me wrong, Women's Football Weekly sounds dope, but shouldn't we be talking about the bigger picture here? like, what about all the other amazing podcasts that didn't make it to the shortlist? aren't they doing valuable work too? 
The Guardian's podcast dominance is no surprise, but it's awesome to see Faye & Suzanne killing the game with Women's Football Weekly! 
Congrats to them for taking home that coveted award. It's a testament to their hard work and dedication to covering women's football with passion & depth.
And let's be real, Max Rushden's victory dance on social media was EVERYTHING 
. And what about all those other awesome podcasts out there? Don't they deserve some love too? 
I'm loving The Guardian's double win at the FSA Awards! 
. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's nice that The Guardian won those podcast categories, but does this really matter? It feels like we're just celebrating who can shout about football the loudest rather than actually having meaningful conversations about the sport 
. And what's with all these awards for individual players? Can't they see how much of an impact their performances have on the team as a whole? 
that's like, a total double whammy for The Guardian 
max rushden is lowkey hilarious on social media btw 
. I mean, who needs change or improvement when what you already got is still gold? Max Rushden should've stuck to his day job as a TV presenter instead of trying to host a podcast 
.
. congrats to all the winners too - Declan Rice and Alessia Russo are total legends on the pitch! 
max rushden is so funny on social media btw lol 
max rushden for life! 
just saw the FSA awards results and i'm super stoked for The Guardian's double win! 
congrats to Max Rushden too!
