A new collaborative three-year research initiative, Project ACL, has been launched to address the high incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in women's football. The project involves Women's Super League (WSL) clubs and is supported by FIFPro, the Professional Footballers Association (PFA), Nike, and Leeds Beckett University. The research aims to explore beyond traditional factors like workload and female physiology, focusing on a more holistic understanding of ACL injury risks.

“We want to move away from very singular and binary understandings of ACL injury. Whenever an ACL happens we point to workload or female physiology when the primary objectives of this project is to understand the holistic risk factors." @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/9rUjD53KAD
