Looking a bit too hard at a single FIFA Women’s World Cup edition
Politics, Social Issues and the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, edited by Danielle Sarver Coombs and Molly Yanity (Routledge) takes a close look at politics and social issues in the context of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup that took place in Australia and New Zealand and is one of the most attended women’s sporting events in history. Christian Tolstrup Jensen appreciates that the book takes a broad view on women’s football with a global perspective. He also notes that the Cup in fact plays a very limited role in many chapters.
New book gives huge insights and new knowledge about worldwide sporting events and women’s football
The 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup: Politics, Representation, and Management, edited and mostly written by Adam Beissel, Verity Postlethwaite, Andrew Grainger and Julie E. Brice, offers a critical examination of the 2023 Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) Women’s World Cup, being held in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. Bente Skogvang is highly appreciative of this contribution to the academic literature on women’s sport, and women’ football in particular.
