Global development of women's football

Overview

The landscape of women’s football is evolving through increased cultural recognition and global investment. In Brazil, the Museu do Futebol hosted a literary contest titled ‘Mulheres em Campo’ (Women on the Field), which drew 706 entries from nine states to highlight female perspectives on the sport. Winners included Lindjane Pereira for ‘Traves de pedras’ and Juliana Babuja for ‘O Nome na Rede’.

Internationally, market dynamics are shifting as players, notably from Portugal, seek opportunities in emerging markets. Countries including Saudi Arabia and Turkey are investing in women’s football structures, competitions, and talent to accelerate development, following patterns seen in their men’s football sectors.
