The long-awaited 2023 FIFA Australia-New Zealand Women's World Cup final will be held.
England and Spain will clash at the Australian Stadium at 7 p.m. on the 20th (Korea Standard Time). Neither team has won the championship. Whoever wins will write the first history of the Women's World Cup.
England reached the final for the first time since reaching the semifinals in the past two consecutive tournaments. In the semifinals, they defeated host Australia 3-1 to advance to the final. England is in a festive mood right now.
However, ahead of the final, something ruined the festive atmosphere. It's because of the British royal family. This is because no one from the British royal family is attending the stage where England is the first to reach the final and challenge for its first championship. The British royal family has announced that they will watch the women's World Cup final on TV.
Then the criticism exploded. There is particular criticism against Prince William. He is currently the president of the English Football Association.
In addition, the intensity of criticism against Prince William intensified when news broke that Queen Leticia and Princess Infanta, who represent the royal family, attended the final and cheered for the Spanish national soccer team.
Politicians and fans unanimously voiced their condemnation of Prince William. There were various criticisms such as no-show, gender discrimination, and own goal.
Britain's Daily Star reports that Prince William is being criticized for his own goal ahead of the Women's World Cup final and that the British royal family is accused of insulting the England women's team
British politicians say, "It's not a show. I don't support the Women's World Cup final and it doesn't make sense that I'm still not ready. Prince William and the president of the Football Federation will not be on the pitch, there will be no screens in the square, and we will not win. If so, we will not hold any kind of celebration
"This scene shows what the royal family thinks of the British women's team. It's so different from how you treat the men's national team. The women's team is ignored and treated rudely."
"If this was the men's team final, Prince William knows that the flight to Australia would be there no matter how far away it is. If the men's team has reached the final, there is no chance that Prince William will be missing."
English soccer fans also stood up.
Fans said, 'I don't understand that the president of the association doesn't go to the World Cup finals. If it was the men's team, I would go,' I'm really disappointed with Prince William. Girls should go and apply for the best climb', 'Would the men's team be worth more? Prince William should have already been on the plane,' he said in an angry voice.
