Asante warns women's football could be 'first casualties' of Infantino plans

Former England defender Anita Asante has warned that women's football could become the 'first casualties' of FIFA president Gianni Infantino's plans, according to BBC Sport.

Asante, who earned 71 caps for England, expressed concern that the proposals could undermine the progress made in the women's game in recent years.

Speaking to BBC Sport, she suggested that the plans may not give sufficient priority to protecting the growth and investment that has helped women's football develop. Her comments add to a growing debate about the potential impact of Infantino's agenda on the sport.
