FIFA just dropped a rule that's got the women's soccer world buzzing: every team in their women's tournaments must now have at least one woman as head coach or assistant coach, plus two female staff members on the bench. Announced this week, it's aimed straight at the coaching sidelines, where men have long dominated despite the game's female players. Yahoo Sports reports it's part of regulations FIFA agreed upon, applying across their competitions.
