FIFA has launched a new global health and education initiative aimed at improving the well-being and performance of female football players, marking one of the sport's most comprehensive efforts to address health issues unique to women athletes.
The governing body announced the rollout of its Female Health and Performance Project on June 1, introducing an online educational platform that will provide evidence-based resources to players, coaches, medical professionals, parents, and football organizations across all 211 FIFA member associations. According to Reuters, the initiative was developed in response to a significant lack of female-specific sports science research despite the rapid growth of women's football worldwide.
