Overview
- FIFA made the platform publicly available on Monday as a free online training centre for all 211 member associations, coaches, medical staff, players and parents.
- The project contains roughly 30 peer‑reviewed modules across 13 topics, covering core performance areas plus menstrual health, pregnancy, postpartum return and menopause.
- FIFA cited a review of more than 5,000 sports science studies from 2014–2020 that found only 34% of participants were female and just 6% of studies focused solely on women to justify the initiative.
- The programme scales pilot work that supported 10 national teams ahead of the expanded 2023 Women's World Cup and incorporates input from leading experts and players such as Carli Lloyd.
- By giving coaches and medical staff female-specific guidance, FIFA expects fewer training errors based on male data, better injury prevention, clearer return-to-play paths for pregnancy and a faster path to professionalisation in the women's game.
