FIFA World Cups open for bidding: FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup 2016 The development of football for girls and women has long been one of FIFA's top priorities. This is the "youngest" of FIFA's competitions. A major milestone was reached in 2008 when the inaugural FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup was held in New Zealand, marking the first time ever that men and women had the same youth tournament structure in football. The creation of this event (with 16 teams) has encouraged member associations to further develop women's football at youth level and to set up teams in even younger age graups. In addition, this tournament has enjoyed support fram different sectors of society in its host countries. For example, the last edition of the tournament in Azerbaijan 2012 was also a commercial success as four national companies, representing the main industries in the country, came on board as National Supporters of the tournament.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} a Boy in Barcelona by R.W. Mitchell 20 Must-Read Books Set in Spain by Spanish Authors
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} A Boy in Barcelona by R.W. Mitchell 20 Must-Read Books Set in Spain by Spanish Authors. It’s always been the case that when I travel, I like to read novels that are region-specific. That’s been true for a long time; but in the last few years, as I became more aware of the lack of translated literature and the need to read more diversely, I made my plan even more particular. Now, when I travel somewhere, I want to read books not only set in the place, but written by someone who lived or was from there, preferably translated from the original language. Photograph of Leah Rachel von Essen in Barcelona, by Oscar Mills, used with permission. So when I went to Mexico City from Chicago, I read Caramelo by Sandra Cisneros; when I went to England, I read Jane Austen. And when I went to Spain, I dug deep into lists of Spanish authors, of books to read before, during, and after my trip that were written by Spanish authors and were set in Spain. I included books written in Catalan and Galician, as they are important national identities of regions that have also pushed for independence. I should note that I attempted to make my list inclusive of authors of color, but struggled to find translated non-white authors writing in Spain. If you have recommendations, please share them with me on Twitter—I would love to hear them! It’s also worth noting that there are many fantastic authors and novels out there that I would have loved to dig into on my trip and on this list, but that are still untranslated, highlighting once again the importance of an international outlook for our reading lists.
