- Charlie Marshall believes event could be arranged quickly
- ‘I know Fifa is very, very keen on it as well,’ Marshall says
The European Club Association chief executive, Charlie Marshall, has talked up the prospect of a women’s Club World Cup starting “fairly soon” as the clubs’ body launches its first women’s football strategy.
The ECA has been working in women’s club football for some time but this is the first time the organisation has built a comprehensive plan for its involvement. The ECA’s “Be a Changemaker” strategy commits the organisation to helping accelerate professionalism, advance the economic development of the women’s game, identify new commercial opportunities, facilitate the creation of new clubs and produce “first of its kind” research studies through a high-performance taskforce to plug the research gap in women’s sport.
