978-1-032-83088-9 (ISBN)
This book offers an in- depth examination of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup (2023 FWWC) hosted in Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia. The 2023 FWWC was a landmark event in the history of women’s sport, in terms of audience, revenue, spectacle, and global reach, and has assumed wider significance beyond sport as a result of the controversial events immediately after the final game.
Featuring the work of leading researchers from around the world, this book examines some of the key issues that arose during and after the 2023 FWWC. It provides an international perspective on the politics of women’s football and explores topics including media, fandom, Indigeneity, legacy policies, tourism, and the organisational politics and strategies of international federations. It also sheds light on the inherent sexism, gender inequalities, and biased media framings that remain pervasive in the women’s game.
This is the second book on the 2023 FWWC from the editorial team of Adam Beissel, Julie E. Brice, Verity Postlethwaite, and Andy Grainger. It is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in sport studies, event studies, gender studies, sociology, or political science.
Adam Beissel is an Associate Professor of Sport Leadership and Management at Miami University, USA. Adam’s research and scholarship interrogates the political economy of sport mega-events and the geopolitics of sport. In addition to his research on the 2023 Women’s World Cup, he is currently working on a research project exploring the geopolitics of the 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup jointly hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Julie E. Brice is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Kinesiology at California State University Fullerton, USA. Julie’s research and scholarship focuses on the socio-cultural and political forces that impact women’s experiences of their moving bodies and across women’s sports more broadly. This includes explorations into women’s fitness practices and understandings of their bodies, professional women’s soccer and mega-events, and the use of posthumanist and new materialist theories for exploring fitness, sports, and physical culture. Verity Postlethwaite is a Lecturer in Strategic Event Management in the School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences at Loughborough University, UK. Verity’s research and innovation projects focus on how events can be used as a catalyst for social and community changes. This includes examinations of gender inequalities, perceptions of disability, and geographical challenges across the life course and different facets of events hosted in the UK, Japan and Australia. Andrew Grainger is a Lecturer in Sport Development, Leisure, and Recreation at Western Sydney University in Sydney, Australia. Andy’s research and teaching focuses on the critical, socio-historical analysis of sport, leisure, health, and physical culture. His current research projects explore the globalisation and political economy of football.
