ABSTRACT

Although ‘women’s’ football today is a practice in its own right, there are still profound differences at the level of the federations. While the feminisation rate is 6.6% in France (2018–2019), it remains proportionally lower than in Germany (15.5%), England (24.6%) or the United States (55%). How can these differences be explained?

This article looks at the role played by (mega)sporting events in the process of institutionalisation of ‘women’s’ football. The use of comparative analysis reveals the differentiated impact of two categories of events. Local and life events, anchored in the close, allow the practice to move from a logic of confidentiality to a logic of emergence, or even targeted development. And ‘mega-events’, such as international competitions, rather allow the practice to move from a logic of development, to a logic of consolidation, or even cultural rootedness. With one exception: the case of French women’s football.

摘要

尽管今天的“女子”足球本身就是一种实践，但在联合会层面上仍然存在深刻的差异。虽然法国（2018-2019 年）的女性化率为 6.6%，但仍低于德国（15.5%）、英国（24.6%）或美国（55%）。如何解释这些差异？

本文着眼于（大型）体育赛事在“女子”足球制度化过程中所扮演的角色。比较分析的使用揭示了两类事件的不同影响。本地和生活事件，锚定在关闭，允许实践从保密的逻辑转变为出现的逻辑，甚至有针对性的发展。而“大型赛事”，例如国际比赛，反而让实践从发展逻辑转向巩固逻辑，甚至文化根基。有一个例外：法国女足的情况。
