Almuth Schult criticises FIFA President Gianni Infantino for awarding the rights for the Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand at short notice. The 32-year-old is currently taking a break as a player due to the imminent birth of her third child at the end of August.

FIFA is demanding ten million euros for the rights, while ARD and ZDF only want to put five million on the table, according to Kicker. The two parties to the dispute have differing ideas regarding the budget. Schult wonders about the strong differences in the current sum compared to the previous rights package.
