A Beats & Rhymes FC message from Germany midfielder Julia Simic

Beneath the picture of a headphone-clad footballer stepping off the team bus before a game, the dance-move celebrations, and the odd song release from a player, there’s a whole world of music within the beautiful game.

Beats & Rhymes FC began in 2011 and explores music with male and female players from around the globe, as well as delving into various aspects of their lives on and off the pitch in a unique one-on-one.
