The 2023 Fifa Women's World Cup : Politics Representation And Management
Hardback Edition: 1
This book offers a critical examination of the 2023 Fdration Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) Womens World Cup, being held in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. Drawing on perspectives from sociology, history, political science, and management, it sheds new light on the development of womens soccer and on womens sport more broadly.
This book examines the politics of the build-up to the tournament, including the bidding process, as well as how the tournament has been represented in the media, the governance structures of the tournament itself, and policy proposals designed to leave an enduring legacy for women and girls in sport. The 2023 FIFA Womens World Cup is the first Womens World Cup to be held in the Southern Hemisphere and the first to be held with an expanded 32-team format. This book shows why the 2023 FIFA Womens World Cup represents a unique opportunity to enhance our understanding of womens football, gender-oriented sport development initiatives and strategies, national sport policy and programming, and the management of international sporting events.
This book is fascinating reading for any student, researcher, or practitioner with an interest in sport development, sport management, sport policy, sport sociology, event management, gender studies, political science, or the relationship between sport and wider society.
