1Women's football has grown faster in the last ten years than almost any other sport.
2Stadiums that once stood half empty now fill up for big international matches.
3Young girls everywhere can now see professional players who look just like them.
4Television companies pay much more for broadcasting rights than they did before.
5This extra money helps clubs train better coaches and build modern facilities.
6However, many female players still earn far less than men at the same level.
7Some national teams have gone on strike to demand fair pay and conditions.
8Fans argue that equal success on the pitch deserves equal respect off it.
9Schools are also starting more girls' teams, which brings in fresh young talent.
10Sponsors have noticed the huge audiences and are investing serious money now.
11If this growth continues, the women's game could soon rival the men's.
