If there’s one thing you should take away from Season 2 of Ted Lasso, it’s that mental health is of utmost importance. Christen Press probably already knew this, and on Thursday the USWNT forward announced she would be stepping away from the beautiful game to focus on herself.
For the first time, the UEFA Women’s Champions League will feature a 16-team group stage instead of jumping straight into a large knockout phase. And for the first time, the Real Madrid Women have qualified for the Women’s Champions League.
New signings Vicky Losada and Khadija Shaw were among those on target for Manchester City as it ran riot in the first half to secure a handsome 4-0 victory over Everton in their FA Women's Super League opener on Saturday.
Proposals to hold the World Cup every two years, being pushed by governing body FIFA, are set to be opposed by UEFA and Europe's leading clubs, sources have told Reuters.
Arsène Wenger, FIFA's Chief of Global Football Development, has been promoting the idea as part of the organization's review of the international match calendar and this week repeated his support for the change from the established four-year cycle.
Christen Press, Sam Mewis, Rose Lavelle, Abby Dahlkemper and Alex Morgan are all returning to the NWSL after brief stints in the FA Women’s Super League last season. But one USWNT star is sticking around: Tobin Heath.
One of the most entertaining footballers in the world, Heath has been searching for a European club to call home since the Olympics ended. It appears she’s found one in the only English club to win a Women’s Champions League title: Arsenal.
Reports on Thursday said Heath had agreed to personal terms to join Arsenal on a free transfer from Manchester United.
La liga de NWSL tiene diez equipos con mujeres de mucho talento. Cuando las jugadoras eran pequeñas no tenían referentes a quienes mirar e imitar para continuar una carrera como profesional. Si, hubo jugadoras como Mia Hamm, Abby Wambach y Michelle Akers, pero las mujeres no tenían una plataforma como la que tienen hoy. La idea de tener una entrenadora femenina también era algo fuera de lo común.
Ahora no hay muchas mujeres en el rol de directoras técnicas, pero poco a poco comienza a cambiar. En la liga de NWSL en este momento hay tres entrenadoras femeninas.
La historia del Real Madrid Femenino en la Champions League estará eternamente ligado al nombre de una futbolista mexicana. Esto luego de que Kenti Robles se convirtiera en la primera jugadora del club en anotar un gol durante la competencia.
¡Y vaya qué gol más épico!
La popular futbolista Norma Palafox ya prepara su debut junto a las Tuzas del Pachuca.
Si bien su fichaje se produjo en diciembre de 2020, Palafox aún no ha jugado un minuto por las hidalguenses. ¿La razón? Al momento de poner su firma dejó establecido que su incorporación sería una vez finalizada su participación en Exatlón Estados Unidos, un reality show de habilidades físicas.
Y bueno, el programa terminó hace una semana, con Palafox como campeona y receptora de un premio de 200 mil dólares.
The Burnaby’s soccer icon continues to be one of the best to play the game. Christine Sinclair captains her Canada squad and helped bring home the gold at the Tokyo Olympics this summer. Canada made history by defeating Sweden in penalty kicks to be named Olympic champions for the first time. As this squad went home to celebrations and supportive greetings from their home towns, Sinclair is still receiving praise for her accomplishment.
