The USA won the 2019 Women's World Cup - where 186 players were surveyed by FifproPrejudice towards women playing football is "continuous across many regions of the world" and too many face adverse labour conditions, says world players' union Fifpro. In a report released on Thursday, Fifpro found "discrimination, sexual harassment and abuse" are major issues. The union also surveyed 186 players from the 2019 World Cup. The report also highlighted issues with facilities for women's teams in Colombia, one of the countries bidding to host the Women's World Cup in 2023. "Overall there is no question that the playing conditions in Colombia are really, really difficult, not just for the women but the men also."
