An English study into the causes of ACL injuries to women soccer players has been launched. ‘Project ACL’ will focus on players in the Women’s Super League in England as part of a three-year study. The injury is suffered by a disproportionate number of female players compared to their male counterparts.

The project is a joint partnership between FIFPRO, the Professional Footballers Association, Nike and Leeds Beckett University.
