England defender Lucy Bronze believes squad empowered to improve women's football standards
Posted : 19 July 2023
Lucy Bronze, the England defender with over 100 caps, expressed that the squad feels "empowered" to raise standards in women's football.
The Lionesses recently released a statement announcing that they would pause discussions with the FA regarding performance-related bonuses until after the Women's World Cup this summer.
While some nations offer player bonuses, England, the Euro 2022 winners, are not currently receiving them.
Bronze highlighted that it was the first time the group collectively sent out a message. They want to show their focus on the World Cup and intend to revisit the discussions after the tournament, emphasizing their responsibility to grow the game.
England's captain, Millie Bright, conveyed the players' disappointment with the unresolved issue in the statement, and the team is committed to making a difference and striving for improvements in women's football.
Bronze, a key player with 105 caps for England, emphasized the importance of sharing their voices and making a positive impact on women's football. This public stance by their team and others reflects their determination to create a better future for themselves and the sport.
The Lionesses are set to face Haiti in their first Group D match of the Women's World Cup, taking place in Australia and New Zealand.
