What's the one bottom left corner? What's up with the opposing team in their uniforms?
Some cultures allow women to cover their bodies. While others allowed them to show as much as they'd like.

They don't get to choose their uniforms, and I'm sure many of them would choose shorts like the men get if they did.
It's not always that simple. For beach volley, I saw athletes commenting that shorts are worse because of the sand getting in the way. Men would chose something better in a different culture. There's sexism I believe, but it's not always what we would expect.
