FIFA launches Female Health and Performance Project

FIFA has launched its Female Health and Performance Project, an initiative aimed at advancing research, education and support for women’s soccer players at every level of the game, with a focus on training methods, health resources and performance guidance designed specifically for female athletes as the women’s game continues to grow globally.

The project was created to advance research and knowledge around female athletes, with the goal of helping players receive more individualized support throughout their careers. It is designed to provide a fuller understanding of the female athlete, taking into account individual and environmental needs while tailoring support to optimize overall health and performance.

The initiative also addresses a long-standing issue in sports: female athletes have often been trained, coached and evaluated through systems created with men in mind.
