The last century shows that sport and broadcasting has evolved around men and left the women, in the dark. Even though there has been a significant movement for women in sport, the men steal the spotlight and has the sports arena to themselves. This study, a quantitative content analysis, contains published news articles from the Swedish newspapers Aftonbladet and Expressen during the women's FIFA World Cup 2015 and the men's FIFA World Cup 2018. The objective is to examine the quantity of coverage and the representation of the Swedish women and men's national football team. This study indicates that the main coverage of the women's national team was dismally low compared to the men's national team. The study also reveals a tendency that journalists of the news articles are about four times more men than women that covers both tournaments.
