Measures that will see at least six women be part of the new FIFA Council have been labelled as huge by Reform Committee member Sarai Bareman. Gianni Infantino was voted in as new FIFA president on Friday but last week also saw a raft of new measures brought in including a requirement for each continental confederation to have at least one female member.Bareman, who is deputy secretary general of the Oceanic Football Confederation, told Sky Sports News HQ: Its huge for womens football and for womens representation within the administration of football. Its a very, very important step in the reform process for FIFA and for women particularly I think it is a huge step.Calls for stronger female representation at the administration level of the game have grown louder after a year of scandal for world footballs governing body. Gianni Infantino won last weeks FIFA presidential election Six of the 207 federations voting in last weeks presidential election sent women to cast their votes but Bareman was the only woman who was part of the 13-strong panel responsible for drafting FIFA reforms.Its unique being the only woman in the room and with women comes a different sort of a mindset, she said.Its been proven in many academic studies that more diversity in a decision-making body leads to better decisions so I am looking forward to having more women alongside me.

Why six? We could become the majority if needed.Its a step in the right direction for now and we have to see how effective it is but is it for tokenism or are they are employing women who know their stuff?

CARSON, Calif. -- It was an eventful year for the U.S. womens national team off the field, with Hope Solos suspension after the Rio Olympics, lawsuits over the expiring collective bargaining agreement and Megan Rapinoes protest during the national anthem dominating the headlines.But in their final match of the year, the Americans offered a summary of how things played out on the field in equal parts fulfillment and disappointment, with Crystal Dunn, Christen Press, Morgan Brian and Samantha Mewis scoring to help the U.S. beat Romania 5-0 on Sunday night at the StubHub Center.The U.S. blistered Romania with 31 shots and did not allow a shot, but U.S. coach Jill Ellis was not happy with the teams wastefulness.I think we left a lot to be said, Ellis said.The same could be said of a year in which the Americans went 22-0-3 in regulation play, scoring 92 goals and conceding 10, but failed to defend their Olympic gold medal after losing to Sweden on penalty kicks in the quarterfinals. Still, the U.S. ended on a largely positive note.I think we all reacted well to it and 2017 is going to be an intense year, Dunn said.An own goal in the 20th minute opened the sccoring for the U.ddddddddddddS. when Dunns cross was chested into the net by Teodora Meluta. Dunn scored her 14th goal this year in the first minute of first-half stoppage time, sprinting past two defenders to take a pass from Press and put a shot between Roxana Opreas legs.Press made it 3-0 in the 55th minute, connecting with Tobin Heath on a give-and-go and scoring for the fourth consecutive game. Press had a hat trick Thursday night in San Jose in the Americans 8-1 victory over Romania.Brian scored on a penalty kick in the 88th minute and Mewis added a goal in the first minute of additional time.Rapinoe wasnt included on the U.S. roster for the second consecutive match.Ellis is planning to hold camps for the national team and the Under-23s in January, operating on the assumption that they will be conducted under the current contractual structure. But Ellis did not know the status of negotiations between players and U.S. Soccer.I dont get involved in that, Ellis said. Thats between them and lawyers and all that good stuff. ' ' '
