#WhatIf campaign grows, with new pledges in Europe

Here are some of the pledges made at the event:

• FIFPRO promised to continue supporting Women in Football. “We’re proud to have you here and we want to be a long-term partner,” General Secretary Jonas Baer-Hoffmann said. “Campaigning for better conditions for women footballers has energized our player unions around the world.”
• Switzerland’s Team Marketing promised to work with FC Lucerne to set up a course that trains women to become coaches
• Dinamo Zagreb executive Amra Peternel, a board member of the European Club Association, said she would try to launch a management program for women at the organization which represents 246 clubs.
• European Leagues, which represents 34 championships, said it would push to include women on its 12-man board. “Football is way too much male-dominated,” Managing Director Jacco Swaart said. “We need to implement the representation of women into licensing or quotas.”
