New policy aims to boost gender representation across technical staff in women’s football.
FIFA is preparing to introduce a major rule change aimed at improving gender representation in women’s football.
Under the proposed policy, women’s national teams will be required to include at least one female coach — either as a head coach or assistant coach — along with increasing the number of women within the technical staff.
The move is designed to address the ongoing imbalance in coaching, where many women’s teams are still led predominantly by male coaches, despite the rapid growth and global popularity of the women’s game.
FIFA’s initiative signals a strong push toward greater inclusion, equality, and opportunities for women in football leadership roles, marking a significant step forward in the evolution of the sport.
