Dodd has been featured among eight FIFA ‘People of the Year’ who helped shape and promote football in 2013. During 2013, Dodd was appointed as one of the first women to join the FIFA Executive Committee, re-elected as a vice-president of the Asian Football Confederation and, most recently, appointed as chair of FIFA’s Task Force for Women’s Football, which focuses on the creation of a FIFA strategy for women’s football in the short and longer term. She travelled widely, advocating women’s roles in football, including visiting Iran’s Second International Congress on Football and Science and speaking out in Tehran in support of women being permitted to enter stadia to attend men’s football matches. “Businesses, governments and now sporting organisations are realising that organisations are better and fairer when women can fully participate,” said Dodd.
