FIFA announces Women’s Club World Cup for 2026 (ESPN)
in his #FIFACongress address, Gianni Infantino has just floated the idea of an U-15 global “festival”, which sounds pretty much like a new World Cup but without those words.
also reiterated that the U17 & U20 #FIFAWWC will be increased to 24 teams, with U17 played annually.

England and Spicy WSL Tweets
but let’s be clear: big-name players moving clubs for free is a rarity. the serious money is lost with the thousands of players on single-season contracts who bounce from club to club without accruing any value at all. THAT short-term attitude in the game is what needs changing.
— Samantha Lewis (@battledinosaur) May 13, 2024
If a player like Miedema was available for free, you’d think a club like Arsenal would be interested in signing her.
One of the most intriguing departures in memory. https://t.co/k2tZP3hwko

Conceding the title on tv and then four days later saying “it’s not fucking over, there’s a title to be won” has changed my brain chemistry, I am different on a cellular level. Cut me and I bleed barclays.

“If you think we aren’t very good at football, you aren’t watching it in depth enough” is also quite an answer for a team finishing 5th in the WSL https://t.co/pbcWxVBUAs
