Laura McAllister will launch her FIFA manifesto this week – basing her campaign on four key strategies as she seeks to become one of the most powerful women in global football. The former Wales international, who captained her country, is pledging to protect smaller nations, maintain competitive balance, further develop the women’s game, and work to end online abuse if she is elected onto the FIFA council this month. McAllister – who is bidding to unseat incumbent Evelina Christillin of Italy – has been working hard in recent weeks in rounds of virtual campaigning across Europe.
