FIFA announced a new global strategy for women’s football on Tuesday in an effort to create revenue streams and increase grassroots participation.
FIFA has launched its
first-ever global strategy for women’s football to realise the full potential
that exists within the women’s game.
FIFA said in a statement that it would work closely with
member associations through workshops and special initiatives to "encourage
female empowerment” through football.
"The women’s game is a top priority,” FIFA’s secretary
general Fatma Samoura said.
"We will work hand-in-hand with our 211 member associations
around the world to increase grassroots participation, enhance the commercial
value of the women’s game and strengthen the structures surrounding women’s
football to ensure that everything we do is sustainable and has strong
results.”
FIFA said it would look to double the number of female
players to 60 million by 2026 and ensure all member associations have developed
"comprehensive women’s football strategies” by 2022.
The sport’s governing body also hopes to broaden female representation
in their regulatory framework, with at least one third of FIFA committee
members to be women by 2022.
