FIFA to Require Female Coaches; Glasgow Businesses Recover After Fire
FIFA will require that women's teams include a female head or assistant coach. Meanwhile, women in Glasgow are supporting businesses impacted by a fire near Central Station.
FIFA's new regulations mandate that every team participating in women's football tournaments must have at least one female head coach or assistant coach, according to the BBC. These rules will be implemented during the under 17s and under 20s Women's World Cup and Women's Champions Cup competitions this year. In Glasgow, a fire near Central Station caused several women-owned salons and small businesses to close. Women's Enterprise Scotland, a membership organization for businesswomen, is providing support, according to the BBC. Carina McCreedy, who runs Bonos Nail Salon, is among those who have received assistance.
