EDITORS COMMENTS
In an eerie display of the new normal in sports, this photograph captures the empty stands of Meadow Park during the FA Women's Continental League Cup match between Arsenal Women and Tottenham Hotspur Women on November 18, 2020. The image, taken by renowned sports photographer David Price for Arsenal Football Club, showcases Dutch international Danielle van de Donk of Arsenal in action against her opponents from Tottenham Hotspur. The Covid-19 pandemic has drastically altered the landscape of sports, with stadiums across the United Kingdom implementing strict restrictions to ensure the safety and wellbeing of athletes and staff. As a result, fans have been barred from attending live games, leading to a surreal atmosphere as players take to the field without the usual roar of the crowd. The FA Women's Continental League Cup match between Arsenal Women and Tottenham Hotspur Women was one such game, with Meadow Park in Borehamwood, England, standing empty save for the essential personnel required to facilitate the game. The absence of fans adds an unusual element to the photograph, with the focus shifting to the players and their performance on the pitch. Despite the unusual circumstances, the determination and passion of the players shines through, as they battle it out in this crucial league cup encounter. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience of sports and the enduring spirit of competition, even in the face of unprecedented challenges. As the world continues to grapple with the Covid-19 pandemic, the sports community adapts and finds new ways to bring fans closer to the action, albeit from a safe distance. This photograph is a testament to the power of sports to inspire and unite, even in the most challenging of times.
