After their defeat against Spain, this Sunday in the final of the 2023 Women’s World Cup (1-0), the players of the England team received their finalist medals in Sydney. And Lucy Bronze, the side of Barça, took the opportunity to snub Gianni Infantino, the president of Fifa.
The England team did not achieve their historic double. After winning the Euro last year, the Lionesses lost to Spain in the final of the 2023 Women’s World Cup, this Sunday in Sydney (1-0). After the match, Sarina Wiegman’s players climbed onto the podium set up in the middle of the Accor Stadium lawn to receive their finalist medals.
Gianni Inantino took care of delivering it to them. And the president of Fifa was then snubbed by Lucy Bronze. The FC Barcelona side, passed by Olympique Lyonnais (2017-2020), recovered her medal without shaking hands with the 53-year-old leader, who had nevertheless extended it to her. A gesture widely commented on the networks.
Infantino’s highly criticized speech on women’s football
Many see it as a way for Lucy Bronze to distance herself from Infantino’s recent speech on women’s football. Before the World Cup final, the boss of the international federation had made remarks that were widely criticized…
“I tell all women you have the power to change. Choose the right battles. Choose the right fights. You have the power to change. You have the power to convince us men of what we need to do. and what we must not do. Do it, said Infantino in Oceania. With the men of Fifa, you will find open doors. You just have to push the doors. And do it also in each country, at the level continental, in every confederation. Keep pushing, keep the momentum, keep dreaming and truly let’s move towards full equality.”
