How far can women’s football go?

Spain take on England in the final of the FIFA Women’s World Cup on Sunday.

The tournament has seen record crowds and global TV audiences. It is a transformation from the first Women’s World Cup in China in 1991 that came at a time when the game was developed in only a few countries.
