Millie Chandarana wants to show that South Asians can succeed in the professional women’s game by leading Nottingham Forest to promotion from the FA Women’s National League.
Chandarana, who attended the Manchester United Girls Academy, was eventually compelled to relocate overseas in order to pursue her career.
Manchester United didn’t have a senior squad at the time; one was only established in 2018.
“It was really competitive and it was a really good environment, a good setup,” Chandarana told me
. At the time, there was no women’s team. That was, to be honest, one of the reasons I switched sides. There was no advancement.
Chandarana traveled to Italy to pursue her ambition of playing professionally after completing her studies in Sport and Exercise Science at the esteemed Loughborough University.
She played for San Marino and Tavagnacco in Serie A there before rejoining Blackburn Rovers to compete in the Women’s Championship for three seasons.
