Tackling ACL Injuries: A Collaborative Effort in Women's Soccer

The National Women's Soccer League has joined forces with Project ACL, an initiative aimed at curbing anterior cruciate ligament injuries in women's professional soccer, which notably affect women more than men.

Launched two years ago by the Women's Super League in England, Project ACL is now welcoming the collaborative efforts of NWSL and its players' union to enhance research and develop practices that prioritize player health.

Partners including Nike and FIFPRO are central to building evidence-based strategies to improve players' conditions and performances, amidst the backdrop of glaring underrepresentation of women in sports science research.
