A year on from FIFA 2023 - what's changed for women's football?

From Nights, 10:17 pm on 20 August 2024

Today marks one year since the 2023 Women's FIFA World Cup Final, and the end of New Zealand and Australia's shared hosting of the tournament.

Hosting FIFA, one of the biggest sporting events in the world, gave New Zealand new facilities, new development funds, and a global platform for their players.

Annalie Longo is the Women's Development Manager for New Zealand Football talks to Emile Donovan about what has changed for the women's game in New Zealand a year on from FIFA.
