Women’s Euros: What it means for women’s football in India

Live Mint  

A fantastic season for women’s football in Europe, ended with an entertaining and fiercely fought UEFA Champions League final on 21 May. And the ongoing Euros are impacting women’s football in India as well, say women footballers, and fans of the women’s game in the country. “Watching women play to packed stadiums, and hearing about the huge demand for tickets, normalises the fact that women play at the highest level, and football fans want to buy tickets to watch world class athletes play the game,” says Radha Gupta Lath, founder of She Talks Ball, a digital media platform dedicated to women’s sports in general, and football in particular. So, it’s a no brainer that these Euros are developing women’s football in England, Europe and globally too.” Despite all this, Hans and Gupta feel that a lot more needs to be done for the women’s game in India. “Indian women footballers are still not paid enough to be able to afford a decent life, and are forced to have a parallel career along with playing football,” she says.
