“As the sport of roller derby grows globally, it’s important for the WFTDA to build relationships with media outlets that serve our members beyond North America. The BBC Sport website has done a fantastic job of showcasing the sport of roller derby with other events in 2018. We’re thrilled to work with them on our first-ever European Continental Cup and bring our sport to new fans across the UK and beyond.”
