By Hannah Pinnock The path to reaching the elite level in women's football is fiercely competitive, and filled with obstacles for young players aspiring to become professionals in the WSL. It's a reality 19-year-old Alex Hennessy knows all too well as she progressed through the youth ranks at Arsenal, and represented the Lionesses at various youth levels from Under-15 to Under-19. In September 2021, aged just 16, she made her senior debut for the Gunners in a WSL clash against Reading, replacing Steph Catley for the final 12 minutes of a 4-0 win. A few months later, Hennessy joined Crystal Pal...

By James Cormack Summer is typically the season for respite, but there will be nothing of the kind this time around given the array of scheduled international tournaments. Euro 2024 and the Copa America have already been ticked off, but the Olympics are just around the corner. Women's football has been a part of the Olympic calendar since 1996 and another highly-anticipated tournament awaits in Paris. The USWNT have dominated the medals table since winning on home soil in '96 and will be among the favourites to claim their fifth gold medal in August. Most recent victors Germany and Canada are ...

On Tuesday evening, the qualifiers league stage drew to a close and teams competing in League A were battling for automatic qualification. Places in the play-offs were also at stake for those who finished outside of the top two in their groups in League A, as well as those in Leagues B and C.

By Hannah Pinnock England will have the opportunity to retain their European crown in Switzerland next summer as they secured Euro 2025 qualification on Tuesday evening. A goalless draw in Gothenburg against Sweden was enough on the night, but it was far nervier than the Lionesses would have hoped. After dominating the first half, England failed to muster a shot on target until after the break. The hosts grew into the game and ended as the better side. Sweden had chances to clinch it, but England just about held on to the result, even if they were fortunate to do so. Here are five things we le...

By Hannah Pinnock England clinched a nervy 0-0 draw against Sweden on Tuesday night to book their place in next summer's European Championships in Switzerland. The Lionesses needed a draw to qualify following their victory over the Republic of Ireland last time out and Sweden's defeat to France. Despite a late onslaught from the hosts in Gothenburg, Sarina Wiegman's side just about hung on to secure a much-needed point. England could have topped the group as Ireland secured a shock 3-1 win over France in the other group game. However, the goalless draw means they finished second in the standin...

By Hannah Pinnock England Women's Euro 2025 qualifying campaign will hopefully come to a positive close on Tuesday evening when they take on Sweden in Gothenburg. The Lionesses' victory over the Republic of Ireland last time out and Sweden's defeat to France in the other group game have put Sarina Wiegman's side in pole position to qualify in second behind Herve Renard's French side. England could even top the group if they secure a win against Sweden and France are beaten by Ireland. However, England's primary focus will be qualification. Avoiding defeat will book their place at next summer's...

By Hannah Pinnock For a long time, Mary Earps has been England's undisputed number one, and rightfully so. The shirt was firmly up for grabs prior to Euro 2022 in what could be described as a 'changing of the guard' in the Lionesses squad. Karen Bardsley and Carly Telford were Phil Neville's goalkeepers of choice prior to his departure in 2021, but a new era under Sarina Wiegman presented fresh opportunities for those previously overlooked. Earps, Ellie Roebuck and - to a lesser extent - Hannah Hampton were the three ready to battle for the starting position. It was a race that was undoubtedly...

By Hannah Pinnock England manager Sarina Wiegman has explained what she loved most about Alessia Russo’s goal against the Republic of Ireland on Friday night. The Lionesses secured a narrow, but crucial, 2-1 win over their opponents at Carrow Road to put them in pole position to secure qualification to Euro 2025 in Switzerland next summer. A draw against Sweden on Tuesday evening will be enough to ensure they finish second in the group behind France. In Norwich on Friday, Alessia Russo fired the Lionesses in front following a well-worked team move. Keira Walsh, Georgia Stanway and Beth Mead we...

By Hannah Pinnock England boosted their chances of qualifying for next summer’s Euros in Switzerland with a crucial 2-1 win over the Republic of Ireland on Friday night. Alessia Russo opened the scoring early doors following a well-worked move involving Keira Walsh, Georgia Stanway and Beth Mead. Stanway then gave the Lionesses some breathing space in the second half as she calmly converted a penalty after Lauren Hemp was brought down in the box. Despite a late goal from the Republic of Ireland, it was a mere consolation for the visitors as the game was arguably already won with just seconds l...
