The 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia & New Zealand not only shattered numerous records but also showcased outstanding talent. However, the Luis Ruibales scandal in the finals has diverted much of the media's spotlight. At Share of Voice, we're delving deep, utilising Media and sentiment benchmarks, Google Trends, and tracking Jenni Hermoso's Instagram follower surge to quantify the shift in media attention from the FIFAWWC 2023's achievements to the #Seacabó incident — a defining moment in Spanish football akin to the #MeToo movement.
