Kate Abdo: Who is the TV presenter fronting CBS Champions League coverage?

Kate Abdo has become famous for fronting CBS Sports’ legendary coverage of the Champions League.

With Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards as pundits, the quartet often leave viewers in stitches with their brilliant banter.

Abdo most recently tore apart Richards for his less than impressive record in the Champions League, just weeks after she was grilled by the former Manchester City star following a surprise twist to the show’s quick-fire question segment.

But Abdo is not just known for her time with CBS Sports. The 41-year-old has worked in Spain, France, Germany and the US, presenting a range of events across football and boxing.

GiveMeSport Women delves into Abdo’s impressive career so far.

Abdo was born in Manchester but moved to Spain when she was just 17-years-old. She completed her education in the country, also spending time in France and Germany while studying.

As a result, Abdo is fluent in multiple languages, something she has used to her advantage during her career.

With an aspiration to become a translator, Abdo’s first job was an internship with German news station Deutsche Welle.

According to an interview with The Athletic, she was asked to try out on-camera despite being an in-house member of staff, and the rest is history.

The studio crew are back and @kate_abdo isn't holding back on @micahrichards.
