An economist's analysis finds that wealthy countries dominate women's football not simply because they are rich, but primarily due to greater public investment in training infrastructure and resources specific to women's game. Gender norms play only a minor role in the disparity, while the lack of a globalized private transfer market in women's football means public funding has outsized impact compared to men's football.
