UEFA has launched a new video and resource series called OWN IT, aimed at highlighting how science and research are improving women’s health in football. The initiative is part of UEFA’s broader Unstoppable women’s football strategy and focuses on key health topics relevant to female players at all levels of the game.

Key Themes Covered

• Health Education and Empowerment: The series provides expert insights and player perspectives on important subjects like menstrual health and ACL injury prevention, encouraging informed discussions around these areas.
• Support for Players at All Stages: It includes open‑access resources—scientific papers, tracking tools, and webinars—designed to help players understand their bodies better and improve performance and wellbeing.
• Focus on Pregnancy & Motherhood: Episodes also explore the experiences of elite players balancing professional careers with pregnancy and parenthood, underlining the importance of support networks and challenging traditional limits on women’s participation.

Objective

UEFA aims to ensure that progress in women’s football on the pitch is matched by advances in health support, education, and research off it—empowering female players to take control of their physical wellbeing throughout their careers.
