At first glance, women's football appears to be thriving, with a recent report from FIFPRO, the global players' union, projecting worldwide revenue to surpass $1 billion (€894 million) by 2027. This growth is underscored by the upcoming World Cup in Brazil, which will be the first hosted in South America and is anticipated to be the largest and most-watched women's tournament to date.

The positive momentum continues with the U17 Women's World Cup taking place in Morocco, marking its fifth consecutive year. Notable teams such as Germany, France, Spain, Brazil, the United States, and defending champions North Korea are set to compete in the 2026 edition, further enhancing the tournament's reputation. US head coach Ciara Crinion expressed excitement about the game's trajectory, emphasizing the increasing competitiveness and seriousness of youth tournaments.

Historic achievements are also on the horizon, with Puerto Rico, Australia, and Argentina making their World Cup debuts.
