A new FIFA report has published some eye-opening stats into social media abuse.

Players at the football Women's World Cup were 29 percent more likely to receive online abuse than those at the men's tournament in 2022, according to new data.

One in five Women's World Cup players, a total of 152, received "targeted discriminatory, abusive or threatening messaging".

Former Football Fern Katie Duncan says it's 'saddening' that online abuse has gotten this extreme.

"It's good for it to be actually recorded from the players, it just gives them data so hopefully more can be done for the statistics- for the data to be lower."
