Lucy Bronze Backs Uefa's Stance on Boycotting Fifa
Chelsea Women's right-back Lucy Bronze has expressed her support for Uefa's decision to boycott Fifa competitions, citing the need to safeguard the game for future generations. The 34-year-old England international made the comments ahead of Chelsea's pre-season friendly against Auckland FC in New Zealand.
Bronze emphasized that the decision to boycott Fifa competitions is not just about the current players, but about ensuring the future of women's football. She stated, "If that means boycotting competitions, then that has to happen. It's for the future of the game and not just for me today and tomorrow, it's for all the little girls or little boys who come after us to make sure that they're in a good place, when the game is moving forward in decades to come, not just tomorrow."
What Happens Next?
The Uefa's threat of a boycott could have an impact on September's Under-20 Women's World Cup in Poland, which is set to get underway in under a month's time. England is due to line up in Group B alongside Brazil, Canada, and Tanzania.
