Project ACL Launched to Combat ACL Injuries in Women's Soccer

The three-year study, backed by FIFPRO and Nike, aims to address the high incidence of ACL injuries among female players.

'Project ACL' is a collaborative effort involving FIFPRO, Nike, and Leeds Beckett University to study ACL injuries in the Women's Super League.
The project responds to calls from players for more research into one of the most common injuries in women's soccer.
Research will focus on environmental and workload factors that contribute to a higher risk of ACL injuries in women.
High-profile cases like Sam Kerr and Alexia Putellas have underscored the urgency of addressing these injuries.
A UK parliament report highlighted systemic gender inequalities in sports, citing inadequate footwear for women as a contributing factor.
