A risk of overloading women’s football players in Europe. One week before the Women’s World Cup kicks off in Australia and New Zealand, global players’ union FIFPRO published analysis on Thursday of its members’ workload on the 32 teams’ road to the July 20-Aug. 20 tournament. READ | FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023, Group E preview: USA to lock horns with WWC 2019 finalist The squads of England, Spain and Portugal have played the most competitive minutes in the past year, according to FIFPRO research which was hampered by poor data collection for women’s football in some countries outside Europe. “We just feel that denies players further opportunity to have competitive and consequentially meaningful games,” said Sarah Gregorius, FIFPRO strategy director for women’s football. “The FIFA Women’s World Cup is a fantastic celebration of the women’s game but is also a time to analyze the sometimes-patchy development of the sport,” FIFPRO general secretary Jonas Baer-Hoffmann said in a statement.
