麻豆约拍

鈥淭hey鈥檙e some of the best footballers and athletes that I鈥檝e ever played alongside.鈥�

The Women鈥檚 World Cup kicks off today. Zambia, Morocco, South Africa and Nigeria will represent the continent in Australia and New Zealand. They鈥檒l all be hoping to get to the final in four weeks鈥� time.

While women鈥檚 football has developed at a dramatic pace in the last few years, it鈥檚 still a way behind the men鈥檚 game - with players sometimes struggling for resources鈥� and respect.

So what will it take for an African team to lift the Women鈥檚 World Cup?

For Africa Daily, @mpholakaje discusses the issues involved with the 麻豆约拍鈥檚 sport reporter @isaac_fanin鈥� and hears from Nigeria鈥檚 Ashleigh Plumptre (@ashplumptre) and some of the other players taking part.
