Erithacus Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 Sounds good, providing a few injured stars of the Euros are able to regain their form. Weigman seems happy and is looking forward to the group stages. It appears that the draw has also ensured that England won't meet USA until the final! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahanshahan Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 FIFA have confirmed that England supporters attending the Women's World Cup now have an allocation available at all the group games. The most expensive tickets are $40 AUD (nearly £23 GBP). Anyone else interested? I'd love to take my Bristol City/England flag out there.

ExiledAjax Posted February 1, 2023 Report Share Posted February 1, 2023 Will any of our women's team players likely play in this tournament? Asking because there is a Women's club benefits program for this, as there was for the Men's world cup. It's much less oney than for the men's edition, and there's a specification that funds have to be used to further the development girls and women’s football programmes, but if we do have any players going, or any players from other clubs that were with us between the ages of 12 and 22, then we will be in line to receive some cash from FIFA. In 2019 a total of US$8.48m was distributed this way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted February 1, 2023 Author Admin Report Share Posted February 1, 2023 Co-hosts Australia and New Zealand have asked Fifa to "urgently clarify" reports that Saudi Arabia's tourism authority is to be named as an official sponsor of the 2023 Women's World Cup. A deal with Visit Saudi is set to be announced and has already been criticised by human rights groups. The Gulf Kingdom has been accused of human rights abuses. Football Australia and New Zealand Football said they were not consulted and are "disappointed". They have both written to football's world governing body, while Amnesty International called it "crude exploitation" of the sport. The Women's World Cup takes place from 20 July to 20 August in cities across Australia and New Zealand, and organisers believe a record two billion people could watch the tournament. Why is Saudi Arabia's involvement in sport controversial? The sponsorship deal - yet to be formally announced - is part of a new commercial partnership structure that Fifa set up to allow brands to specifically support the women's game. While the size of the deal has not been revealed, insiders claim it will provide a significant boost to the women's game, and the money generated will be reinvested back into football. "Football Australia understands Fifa has entered into a destination partnership agreement in respect to the Fifa Women's World Cup Australia and New Zealand 2023," Football Australia said in a statement. "We are very disappointed that Football Australia were not consulted on this matter prior to any decision being made. Football Australia and New Zealand Football have jointly written to Fifa to urgently clarify the situation." New Zealand Football added: "If these reports prove correct, we are shocked and disappointed to hear this as New Zealand Football haven't been consulted by Fifa at all on this matter." Saudi Arabia has invested heavily in sporting events in recent years but has been accused of using events to 'sportswash' its reputation. There are concerns over human rights in the country, women's rights and the use of the death penalty. Women's rights campaigners have been imprisoned, despite some reform under crown prince Mohammed bin Salman, such as an end to the ban on women driving. Western intelligence agencies claim the crown prince ordered the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018 - which he denies. "It would be quite the irony for Saudi's tourism body to sponsor the largest celebration of women's sport in the world when you consider that, as a woman in Saudi Arabia, you can't even have a job without the permission of your male guardian," said Amnesty International Australia campaigner Nikita White. Although Saudi Arabia only sent women to the Olympics for the first time in 2012, it has taken steps to develop women's football in recent years, with female fans allowed to attend football matches for the first time in 2018. The Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF) has appointed two women to its board of directors and created a women's football department in 2019. In 2020, a Women's Football League was launched, and last month Saudi Arabia hosted and won a four-nation women football tournament in their bid to feature in the Fifa women's world rankings for the first time.

Admin phantom Posted April 21, 2023 Author Admin Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 Awful news of Leah and England Something clearly wrong as so many female players are getting ACL injuries this season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) Perhaps an increasing emphasis on the physical side of the game, as it becomes higher profile and the stakes go higher too. On top of the medical statement that female knees are significantly less strong than men's pound for pound, I suspect we will only see more injuries. I also note that Arsenal manager Jonas Eidevall made comment of the state of the playing surface and called for better, more professional venues. Meanwhile, it's a bad blow for the Lionesses, what with a few others questionable for the World Cup.

I think I've seen stuff before about ACL injuries and a woman's menstrual cycle being linked. Bad news for England and gutting for her. Mead also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
