The paper aims to examine the global \ndynamics of women's American football by highlighting the position of the sport in opportunities, \nchallenges, and development process. The study investigates the environment of women's \nAmerican football by asking the following questions: How is women's American football \nfunctioning in the USA and in Finland? What is the nature of international competition in the IFAF \nWomen's World Championship? And what are the challenges and opportunities presented in \nwomen's football globally, in Finland, and in the USA?\nThrough the lens of sports globalization, the study examines the global landscape of American \nfootball, while considering cultural aspects, economic aspects, and glocalization of sport practices. \nThe study lays groundwork of the local landscape in the US and Finland for comparison and \nreflection, then it utilizes descriptive analysis in a results-oriented process of the Women\u2019s World \nChampionship competitions. For that, online data from relevant American football sources has \nbeen utilized. In addition, the study collects data through both online and in-person semi-structured \ninterviews with four contributors who attended the 2022 Women's World Championship in \nFinland. The data from interviews is thematically analyzed according to the literature concepts of \nglobalization in sports and sport management.\nThe findings of the study show the impact of globalization on American football, with the sport\nstriving for Olympic inclusion, and gaining further integration in Europe through factors such as \ninternational games, online platforms, social media, and international competition. Additionally, it \nis found that the management of women's American football requires attention and efforts to \nelements like sustainability, promotion, funding, growth and development, and encouragement of \na culture of collaboration and effective leadership. Finally, the main conclusions include \nencouraged practices, common objectives, challenges, and possibilities of women\u2019s American \nfootball across global actors. In addition, recommendations are provided based on the insights from \nthe hands-on perspectives of Finnish and American interviewees who are actively engaged in \nvarious roles in the women\u2019s football environment. Considering the Olympic aspirations of \nAmerican football this study aims to encourage further research related to the sport.", "language": "en", "element": "description", "qualifier": "abstract", "schema": "dc"}, {"key": "dc.description.provenance", "value": "Submitted by Paivi Vuorio (paelvuor@jyu.fi) on 2023-06-16T06:04:11Z\nNo. of bitstreams: 0", "language": "en", "element": "description", "qualifier": "provenance", "schema": "dc"}, {"key": "dc.description.provenance", "value": "Made available in DSpace on 2023-06-16T06:04:11Z (GMT).
