Significant human rights risks identified as part of an analysis ahead of this year's FIFA Women's World Cup have been ignored by the sport's international governing body, raising concerns for the Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC).

Commissioned by FIFA, the AHRC analysis identified 57 risks associated with Australia's co-hosting of the event to be staged in numerous cities around the country from July.
