  • 1 Introduction to the Second Special Edition of Upfront and Onside
    Introduction to the Second Special Edition of Upfront and Onside Jean Williams Introduction Women’s World Cup 2019 and Questions of Legacy While the first special edition dedicated to women’s football came out at the beginning of the Women’s World Cup 2019 tournament, held in France, this second edition is released as the legacy of that tournament is being debated. FIFA is a janus-faced institution. It both governs and develops world soccer. Many analysts think that the governance and developmental roles should be separated because the organisaton has proven that it lacks transparency, an ethical code and progressive policies. FIFA is also a central command economic regulator – it has a monopoly on international tournament soccer from girl scouts to the world cup, and it makes its own rules. But since the 1980s it has increasingly neglected development in favour of a governance strategy that commercializes its assets for maximum financial benefits. FIFA has long perceived women’s football, girls football and boys football as an economic drain rather than as a financial asset. In the 1980s, thanks to the collaboration between Sepp Blatter and Horst Dassler, of the Adidas family, ISL, a sports marketing company persuaded FIFA to think less of its world cups as cultural festivals of football and more as products, to be trademarked and branded extensively. When the first FIFA women’s world championships for the M&Ms Cup was held in China in 1991, it did not have a world cup title, because the marketing department were not sure whether, or not, it would damage the world cup brand.
