Welcome to the 2nd Conference on ACL in Female Football Players! We are extremely pleased to bring together an interdisciplinary group of physicians, therapists and professional athletes to discuss one of the most pressing issues in sports medicine today.

As we all know, female football players are particularly susceptible to ACL injuries, and this conference provides a unique opportunity for us to share our expertise and insights in the hopes of developing better prevention strategies and treatment options.

We have a fantastic lineup of speakers and participants from diverse backgrounds, all of whom are committed to advancing our understanding of this complex issue. Over the course of the conference, we will explore the latest research, best practices, and practical approaches to ACL injuries in female football players.

We are confident that this conference will serve as a valuable platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration, and we look forward to hearing from each and every one of you. Thank you for joining us, and we hope you enjoy the conference!
