The meeting took place on the sidelines of the ongoing men's World Cup in Qatar, with officials from the Asian Football Confederation, Confederation of African Football, Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football, South American Football Confederation, Oceania Football Confederation and UEFA in attendance.

FIFA's chief women's football officer Sarai Bareman led the workshop, which featured discussions on next year's Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand and how the global governing body and continental counterparts can work together to grow the game at all levels.

"It was incredible to host the six Confederations in Qatar with the backdrop of the FIFA World Cup," the former Samoan international said.

"This was a unique opportunity to bring everyone together to talk about the work that has been done, and what more we can do with regard to development and competitions.

"I even got emotional in the closing of our workshop because so much has been done in women’s football.

"At FIFA, across the globe, everywhere.

"The growth has been incredible and what you will see next year in 2023 will be another massive boost for women’s football."

The Women's World Cup is set to increase from 24 to 32 teams next year, although the disparity in prize money with the men's tournament remains an ongoing criticism levelled at FIFA.

While the winners of the men's World Cup in Qatar are in line to earn a reported $42 million (£34 million/€39.5 million), the United States collected just $4 million (£3.2 million/€3.8 million) for their 2019 Women's World Cup success in France.

Football's global governing body insists "women's football is a key priority".

The 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup is due to be held from July 20 to August 20.
