"'Men should be part of that. I'm not saying anybody should be excluded, I believe in diversity wholeheartedly, but the same way we've played a role in the men's game that's a supporting role, you're part of the ensemble, you're never going to get the premium final games, it should be the same way for women's football.'"
"'I think we need to gatekeep the women's game in a way that the men's game is gatekept. What I mean by that is, and you've heard me talk about the journey of women's football, it's taken a while, it's taken a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get the women's game to where it is now. There's a lot of people, including me, who have planted a lot of seeds to be reaping what we're reaping now... TV, money coming into the game, investment, and it's still growing.'"
Eni Aluko criticised the pundit choices for the Euro 2025 final, noting four of six punditry spots on BBC and ITV went to men, including Ian Wright and Nedum Onuoha. She insisted the women's game should have women as the main pundits while men occupy supporting roles. Aluko argued the women's game has required long-term effort and sacrifice to reach its current level and needs protection similar to the men's game to preserve gains. She previously apologised to Ian Wright, but Wright declined the apology and said he was very disappointed.
