In the world it has always been one of the most important and longed-for athletic crossroads to reach and practice. In Italy it is, without a doubt, the national sport par excellence. Football, in today's society, is the Mecca of its faithful: it is talked about, lived, played, on all levels, from professional to simple Thursday soccer with friends. It is because of this wide range that it becomes more and more the bearer of a set of essential values. Ethical, moral, solidarity values. Football unites, excludes all discrimination, gathers the marginalized under a single flag, annihilates extremism. From this point of view, one can easily understand the weight covered by a competition that has just started in France: the eighth edition of the Women's World Cup.
The right visibility at the women's World Cup
With, finally, a high-sounding media box (given its broadcast on TV) the World female is worthy of being able to give prestige to a sector that perennially plays the role of counterpart to its male counterpart. The latter naturally more sponsored, naturally best-selling, to date, most likely also more technical. But this is not the point, how much more give the right visibility to those who over time have shown that they deserve it.

The tournament, as mentioned, it will take place on French soil, spreading the matches in nine stadiums ranging from the capital Paris, to Marseille, to the suggestive Le Havre and sees the favorite hosts.

A real tank. Among the 24 teams present, there is also the United States, reigning champions. Germany, of the starlet Dzenifer Marozsan, one of the highest paid players in general, and our Italians.
Italy returns to the fore in the women's World Cup
Italy is back in the limelight in a World Cup after exactly twenty years since the last time, USA '99. It does so by starting out humble, with a lower physical / tactical preparation than the big players. But with an absolutely not bad game and that led them not to beat the debut. The 2-1 against Australia, matured in comeback, brings the double scratch on the scoresheet of Barbara Bonansea, midfielder of the Juventus, with which he has already had the opportunity to show his qualities during the season crowned with the Scudetto. It was useful to start well. It will be necessary to beat Jamaica on 14 to finish against Brazil with full points, relaxed and with more than one hand on qualification. This, on a purely sectoral level.
