6 Summary of Session 4
Having completed the fourth session you should have a better understanding around some of the challenges and tensions faced within women’s football – whether as a player, supporter or those governing and organising the sport. The main learning points are:
- The history of women’s football is both lengthy and complex, with several political themes permeating through the development of sport.
- Women’s football is, arguably, more political than men’s football, best exemplified by the USWNT.
- A range of inequalities exist in women’s football, compared to men’s. Though questions remain over whether this is direct discrimination.
