A three-year study dubbed Project ACL launched Tuesday with the goal of reducing anterior cruciate ligament knee injuries in women's soccer.

"This is a response to the players rightly calling for more research," said Alex Culvin, FIFPro's head of strategy and research for women’s football and a former player herself."Probably since COVID we've seen a number of high-profile ACL injury in professional women's football."
