Football》Countdown to the Women’s World Cup intercontinental play-offs! The union puts forward key points for review and again exposes the association’s overdue fees

There are only 45 days left in the Women's World Cup transcontinental play-offs. Today, after the Nagoya Asian Games, the Women's Football Union conducted a survey on the participation experience and logistical support of front-line players, and proposed four key reviews and core demands for the Football Association, including "professional staffing", "physical and mental support system" and "the association's long-standing arrears of fees".

The Women's Football Union today proposed four major review points. The first is that the logistics and technical staff are doing their best, but "one person has multiple jobs and there is insufficient manpower." The second is the lack of sports psychology majors, which more than 40% of players think "clearly/partially affects preparations". The third is the unsolved problem of arrears and serious illness, which is currently as high as 85.7% Players reported that before the game, the Football Association "has not yet fully refunded the arrears", and finally shouted to the Football Association not to let the administrative window slow down preparations, because the World Cup playoffs are currently counting down, and the training plan urgently needs to be connected with the government's initiative.

[Union’s specific demands]

1. The Sports Department should supervise the time required by the Football Association to settle all outstanding fees and provide players with complete details:

This is not the first time that the issue of arrears has been raised by this association. The Sports Department should not always unilaterally accept the arguments of both sides but ignore the problem and create difficulties again and again. In addition to fulfilling its supervisory role and assisting in the recovery of transportation fees, training fees and competition fees, as well as advances made on behalf of team members, the Sports Department should simultaneously confirm and reissue the individual write-off details of past team members. If necessary, the active inspection mechanism of Article 35, Paragraph 3 of the National Sports Law should be activated to prevent the Football Association from becoming a jigsaw puzzle that cannot be put together in the Sports Ministry's sports reform announcement.

2. Carry out the training plan review as soon as possible, and the competent authority will proactively assist to avoid any gaps in preparation caused by re-selection:

The Sports Department and the National Training Center should play the role of stable helmsman during the transition period, and conduct approval and review of relevant Olympic training plans as soon as possible to ensure that the preparation funds, venues and training resources for the upcoming World Cup play-offs are seamlessly connected to avoid "logistics shortage".

3. Face the dilemma of the women’s national team’s staffing and allow the technical team and logistics staff to keep up with the competitive level:

The medical logistics and physical fitness guidance for the World Cup playoffs must implement a professional division of labor, whether it is the addition of assistant coaches, the confirmation of full-time team management and translation, and at least two full-time protective guards and regular team psychological professionals based on the number of players.
