Fund research into ACL injuries in women's football

Petition Details

So many female footballer's careers are being ruined due to ACL injuries. They are one of the hardest injuries to recover from. Female footballers are up to six times more likely to suffer an ACL injury than their male counterparts. This is why we need more research into why this is happening.

Additional Information

This is important to so many players and supporters as players who have a career ahead of them are being set back or even having to retire because of this injury. it occurs in the men's game too however over the past few years we have seen the cases in female footballers sky rocket. More research needs to be conducted as to why this is happening and how players can best recover.
