International transfers in 2020 (Part II)

The 2020 edition of FIFA’s annual report on international transfers has been published. In the second of two pieces we share the highlights from the women’s report.

  • Spending on women’s international transfers increased 70% in 2020, while the number of moves rose only 23%
  • The three months from August 2020 saw 427 transfers, up 82% vs. the same period in 2019
  • 87.6% of women’s international transfers involved out of contract players vs. 62.5% in men’s football

The women’s transfer market is a fraction of the size of the equivalent in the men’s game. But it is growing – and will continue to grow as the popularity of the sport (and the creation of star players) continues to increase.

Unfortunately, many women’s league competitions had to be called off entirely as the first wave of the pandemic gripped the world, unable to fund the continuation of competitions with additional safety measures. The 2020/21 season kicked off as usual for the major leagues, however, with new players installed at many clubs.
