LONDON (Reuters) - Football federations must do better in giving the same opportunities and treatment to female players as they do to their male counterparts, Olympique Lyonnais and Norway striker Ada Hegerberg says.

Hegerberg became the inaugural winner of the female Ballon d'Or award earlier this month but is not currently involved in international football due to a dispute with her home federation about how women's football is treated in Norway.
