This book explores the experience of fans of women's football who followed their teams in Canada, examining their practices and fan behaviour. How did host cities manage the influx of visitors? And how did fans manage to support their teams, considering the vast amounts of travel expected across such a big country? Dunn also examines the way that the England team is structured and run, relating this to the country's domestic competition, as well as assessing the media coverage of women's football globally. This research is all framed within the author's own experiences of the Women's World Cup, as both an academic and as a sports journalist.Palgrave pivot.SociologyCultureSports—Sociological aspectsCulture—Study and teachingSportsGender Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35000Sociology, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22000Sociology of Culturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22100Sociology of Sport and Leisurehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22220Regional and Cultural Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411000Popular Science in Sportshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q38000Sociology.Culture.Sports—Sociological aspects.Culture—Study and teaching.Sports.Gender Studies.Sociology, general.Sociology of Culture.Sociology of Sport and Leisure.Regional and Cultural Studies.Popular Science in Sports.305.3Dunn Carrieauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut852738BOOK9910253308403321Football and the Women's World Cup2546602UNINA
