FIFA President Gianni Infantino has told Sky News that men should not be 'imposing what they think women football should be' and copying the men's game in a 'bad way'.
"But we know as well that not all of us everywhere in the world are open and together with women... everyone together, all those who have the same philosophy, the same pioneer things have to change still further after the battles we all made to change many things.
"Well together - let's fight to open all those doors that are not yet open - to make them as open as the FIFA ones and open them even more and get to where we all want to get."And I think if we do that, if we go on together, the results will be even much better than this fantastic World Cup, which was already great."
But the speech Mr Infantino made on Friday has taken some of the headlines away from the final at Stadium Australia - with scrutiny of the tone when talking about growing women's football. Mr Infantino said:"Sometimes it's important that people listen to the entirety of a discussion, of reasoning, because sometimes - indeed taken out of context - some words might be misinterpreted or misused.
"I think that what FIFA has done in the last few years has been acting really as a pioneer in women's football."The conditions for men and women players of national teams are absolutely equal already - Qatar World Cup for the men's, Australia-New Zealand World Cup for the women. Exactly the same condition. Because it's global, because it's how it has to be.The Lionesses will be playing for their share of an increased prize pot of $110m for this tournament.
