This situation raises concerns about the future of women's football and its visibility on the global stage.
Fifa has been under scrutiny for its governance and prioritization of resources, with many advocating for a more balanced approach that supports both men's and women's football equally. As women's football gains popularity and viewership, the implications of Fifa's plans could have long-lasting effects on its growth.
Anita Asante's remarks reflect a growing unease within the women's football community regarding Fifa's strategic direction. The potential sidelining of women's football under Infantino's leadership could reverse years of hard-earned advancements and investment in the sport.
