ZURICH (AP) \u2014 women’s soccer coach<\/span> There will be more opportunities to work at the Women’s World Cup and other tournaments after FIFA passed new rules on Thursday.<\/p>\n

FIFA has announced that it will require “at least one woman from each team to be the head coach or assistant coach” in women’s competitions.<\/p>\n

Of the 32 teams participating in the 2023 Women’s World Cup, only 10 had a female head coach, including England’s Sarina Wigman, who was eliminated in the final.<\/p>\n

“We must do more to accelerate change by creating clearer pathways, expanding opportunities and raising the profile of women on the sidelines,” Jill Ellis, FIFA’s chief football officer, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

FIFA’s policy is to spread to the world what European soccer organization UEFA, which has developed the women’s game, has done.<\/p>\n

Only seven of the 16 teams at the Women’s European Championship had female head coaches, but all teams with a male head coach were required to have a female assistant coach.<\/p>\n

Wiegmann’s guidance England retain European title<\/span>This was her third consecutive year, and the eighth consecutive year for a female head coach in this competition since 1997.<\/p>\n
