FC Nordsjælland have one hand on the Kvindeliga trophy after a 2-0 home triumph over Kolding took their unbeaten run to eight games. Winonah Heatley and Malia Steinmetz (both back from international duty) were on the field for the full 90 minutes.
The stage is set for a dramatic final round. Nordsjælland travel to title rivals Brøndby, knowing that a win or a draw is enough for the Tigers to become League Champions (or gold medallists, as is the terminology in this part of the world). However, Brøndby can steal the league title at the death if they defeat Nordsjælland.

As there are no Aussies in the Toppserien, Nordic Wrap coverage of the league will pause here and resume if an Aussie joins the league.
As yet, no Aussies have signed up to compete in the 2024 Besta Deild Kvenna competition. If the situation changes, the Aussies in Nordic Football wrap will be sure to cover it!
