The popularity of women's football is growing internationally and in Italy. Despite the fact that one in three women declares herself passionate about football, this sport is considered decidedly more "masculine" by almost 40% of Italians.
One in four would try to change the mind of a girl who shows passion for football, for fear that she could suffer some form of discrimination. The majority of Italians believe that there is discrimination against women (67.5%). For two out of three people, women are penalized in career opportunities, average salary and working conditions.
