FIFPRO, the global players' union, highlights the disparity in playing schedules for women's soccer players. While some elite players face a packed calendar, others struggle with insufficient game time. The union attributes this to the growing number of top-level competitions in Europe and North America, leaving other regions behind. FIFPRO also raises concerns about 'underload,' pointing out that some players on national Olympic teams had played fewer than 10 games before the Paris Games.
