The FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup will create icons and awareness that are beneficial to young girls, such as my daughters, who aren’t able to play sports in India. But, it is important that parents allow their girl child to participate in sports, because there are few opportunities for female students to play football in academies. The FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup India 2022 will encourage more parents to let their daughters play sports.
