Foreign media: The most meaningful match in the history of women's football, the Women's World Cup final will be held today | Women's Football | Final
The website of The Independent reported on August 19th that the match held at the Australian Stadium on August 20th will be the most meaningful match in the history of women's football - this may sound like a clich é, but its significance goes far beyond that. The audience record has been broken. The obstacles have been left far behind. In many ways, this is a truly game changing World Cup.
According to reports, this year's women's football World Cup has been very intense from the beginning, with frequent outcasts and no decrease in entertainment value. Now, a highly entertaining World Cup will welcome a high-quality final that matches it, with two excellent teams competing.
The England and Spain teams are still a continuation of the trend of being unpopular and explosive in this year's Women's World Cup. Both teams overcame various difficulties and advanced to the finals, which may be the biggest decisive factor in women's sports today: these two wealthy European countries have achieved industrialization of talent production through infrastructure reforms.
"There are over one million spectators in the stadium and over one billion in front of the television screen," said FIFA President Ivantino. "This is a turning point for women's football. This World Cup has indeed brought about change, not only in Australia or New Zealand, but also around the world."
The website of The Independent reported that on the 20th, the Lions will face the Spanish team. This is the first time in 57 years that the English men's and women's football teams have reached the World Cup final, and the excitement of the fans is increasing.
The English women's football team hopes to bring the highest award of this competition back to China. Coach Sarina Wigman is well aware of the pain this country has endured over the past 57 years and will bring this pain to an end for her team on the 20th.
"I know it exists," Wigman said. "When we started working in September 2021, I felt that this country was so eager to win the championship. Everyone said so, and so did the players... Let's give our best performance on the 20th and strive for success."
The Spanish women's football national team will have the opportunity to make history in Sydney on the 20th, according to the website of the Spanish newspaper Le Monde on August 19th. In her third World Cup tour, Spanish female football players have already had the possibility of becoming champions and have experienced how various obstacles have been quickly overcome in the past 8 years, allowing them to achieve their dreams without limits.
In 2014, the year before Spain's women's football team first participated in the World Cup, the Spanish Women's Football Federation had a total of 44873 girls and young women participating in the competition. In 2022, this number doubled. In June 2021, the Spanish Women's Football League achieved professionalization. The accelerator is pressed down.
"The progress is very fast, achieving a leap of several decades in just two years. Ten years ago, it was difficult for us to live on football," said Andrea Estevan, a former female football player who won the U17 European Championship with the team and current head coach of Araves. "All the successes in low-level matches indicate that we are knocking on the door to this sport."
The report states that the next step is to see if the team coached by Jorge Bilda has the ability to create history, win this year's World Cup championship, and provide unexpected impetus to consolidate the position of Spanish women's football.
