Popis: During the Round of 16 match between teams from England and Cameroon, controversial video assistant referee (VAR) and on-field refereeing decisions led to extensive—and explosive—on-field protests and protestations from the Cameroonian players. These events and the post-match commentary around them put the Cameroon Women’s National Team at the center of a global mass-mediatized spectacle. This chapter examines the dominant media frames emerging from international media regarding the dispute and examines differences between coverage from major newspapers and football-specific news websites. The authors also explore how African feminist thought and intersectionality contextualize the dominant frames across global sports media.
