Defensive pressure strategies and their impact on offensive play in elite women’s football
Research has looked at how teams attack in elite women's soccer, but there hasn't been much study on how a team's defense right after losing the ball affects the opponent's attack. This study aimed to fill that gap by specifically looking at the relationship between defensive pressure (trying to win the ball back right away) and the way the opposing team starts their attack in high-level games, using data from the UEFA Women's Champions League 2023/2024 season.
Stakeholder Perspective on Challenges in Women’s Football
Women's football still faces big challenges because of old unfair practices and ideas about gender, leading to less money, limited media attention, and the sport not being valued as much as men's football. Despite more people playing and paying attention, hidden cultural beliefs and system problems make it hard to achieve gender equality.
