Anita has also played for the likes of Chelsea, Sky Blue FC, Saint Louis Athletica, Chicago Red Stars and FC Rosengard.

After various spells with American and Swedish football clubs, Anita returned to her original team Arsenal to play in the WSL campaign in 2020. Anita has also previously been a member of the Under 17, Under 19 and Under 21 England national teams, with her most prominent role being the captain of England Under 19 team.

She scored her first international goal in a match against Norway and has also claimed recognition of the Outstanding Achievement Award 2006 and the Sports Award 2004 from the Ghana Professional Awards.

Openly lesbian, Anita Asante has forged a reputation for her advocacy for the LGBT+ community and for anti-discrimination.

Passionate about shaping a better future for LGBT+ and female sport participants, Anita is now booked as a female motivational speaker to inspire equality, diversity and inclusion.

Passionate to see that the LGBT+ community is further accepted and normalised, Anita Asante regularly speaks out in the media about the acceptance and discrimination that the community continues to face. When looking for a passionate female motivational speaker, Anita Asante is a fantastic choice- guaranteed to create meaningful conversations at all events she attends.

Aside from her sporting career, Anita is also completing her PhD in the Governorship of Women’s Football, reflecting her commitment to the representation of female athletes.

As a commentator, Anita Asante regularly applies her vast knowledge to pinnacle matches and discusses the events of women’s sport. Upon being appointed an Ambassador for Show Racism the Red Card, she has further raised awareness for discrimination in football, a key topic of her speeches.

From high-performance teamwork to equality, Anita’s experience of thriving in a male-dominated world serves to inspire and educate audiences at events.
