'In conjoined sporting, social, cultural, economic, political, and/or geographical terms, The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup: Politics, Representation, & Management aggregates an intriguing and multifaceted understanding of an event which occupies an increasingly prominent place within the global sporting landscape. As much a collective research project as an edited anthology (one or more of the editors are involved in the overwhelming majority of the chapters), The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup makes an important contribution to the sporting mega-event literature. It provides a vivid and interdisciplinary reading of the tournament’s location, structure, and representation which, albeit long overdue, finally brings the FIFA Women’s World Cup under the critical academic spotlight warranted by its manifold significance. Furthermore, without resorting to any form of uncritical romanticism, the book suggests how the Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand co-hosted 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup tournament’s more progressive aspects offer something of a counterpoint to the entrenched orthodoxies of major sporting events more generally. A must-read for anyone with a serious interest in the complexities, and transformative potentialities, of contemporary sport culture.' David L. Andrews, Professor of Physical Cultural Studies at the University of Maryland - College Park, USA
