(Reuters) - Arsenal Women manager Jonas Eidevall has criticised FIFA for scheduling this year's Women's World Cup starting in July, saying the soccer governing body should have held the tournament earlier.
The Women's World Cup will be held in Australia and New Zealand from July 20 to Aug. 20, two weeks before the playoff round to qualify for next season's Women's Champions League.
Eidevall, whose side exited the Champions League semi-finals this week, said players could have managed their time off better if the World Cup was held earlier.
