France women's captain Amandine Henry and her team had to vacate the national training facility so the men could prepare for a friendly. AP Ada Hegerberg refuses to play for her national team Norway due to the disrespect shown to the women's game. It plays into Ada Hegerberg's much-publicised World Cup boycott.

This snub is all too familiar and proves the point being made by the World Cup's most striking absentee.
