Is Women's football finally being taken seriously?

The world's best footballers are in France to fight for their sport's biggest prize.

No, we haven't confuse it with the World Cup in Russia last year: we're talking about the Women's World Cup.
The eighth edition of the tournament is being played in nine cities over the next month.

Football's world governing body FIFA, wants to reach a record one billion television viewers.

However, the world's best female footballer, Ada Hegerberg, won't be taking to the pitch.

Why isn't she playing? And is women's football finally emerging from the shadows of the men's game?
