Experts believe that to effectively reduce anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in women's football, the conversation must shift from biological differences to manageable risk factors. Notable figures such as Switzerland's Ramona Bachmann and other players are missing the Women's Euro 2025 due to ACL injuries, highlighting the issue's severity. While women are statistically more vulnerable to ACL tears, there has been limited research on the topic in professional women's football. Efforts aim to change perceptions about women's physiological capabilities and improve injury prevention strategies through initiatives like Project ACL.
According to experts, breaking the cycle of ACL injuries in women's football requires shifting the focus from biological differences to controllable risk factors.
Women's Euro 2025 will be without Swiss striker Ramona Bachmann who recently tore her ACL, emphasizing the severe impact of knee injuries in the women's game.
