Women's Football: Dodd wants more women involved in football

A FIFA task force called for greater inclusion of women in all areas of the game during the sixth Women’s Football Symposium held in Zurich on Wednesday.

Moya Dodd, chairwoman of the task force set up in 2013, said that in order for the women’s game to grow, it must focus on three areas — governance, competitions and participation, and business.

Dodd said: “It has been exciting to see the upsurge in interest for women’s football in the weeks following the Fifa Women’s World Cup in Canada. But we need to ensure the momentum is maintained.
