Tottenham Hotspur hosted Manchester United on Sunday afternoon in a mid-table, Barclays Women’s Super League clash, with United looking to close in on the final UEFA Women’s Champions League qualification spot.

The game was tightly contested, with Tottenham enjoying large spells of dominance. However, it ended in a 0-0 draw: a result that did little to benefit either side.

London City Lionesses roared to an emphatic 5-1 win over Barclays Women's Super League strugglers Leicester City at the Copperjax Community Stadium.

London City, who were looking to improve on their current form after drawing against Chelsea and West Ham United, sealed the deal with two first-half goals from Lucia Corrales and Isobelle Goodwin after Shannon O’Brien gave the visitors an early lead, whilst Malou Marcetto and Grace Geyoro added to the hosts the advantage later on. 

It was soon game over for the Foxes as England international Freya Godfrey scored in style, finishing off a solid victory for the Lionesses.

England Women’s Under 23s secured the European title on Friday, after beating Sweden 3-0 in Spain. Under new head coach Lydia Bedford, the team delivered a confident and composed performance in the final, showcasing both their attacking quality and resilience.

With goals from Izzy Goodwin, Hannah Silcock and Olivia McLoughlin, England sealed a dominant victory that underlined their growth throughout the tournament. 

The Lionesses face Iceland in the FIFA Women’s World Cup Qualifiers on Saturday 18th April, but this game is about far more than just the three points. The match marks the 500th game of the Lionesses, since their first official game in 1972. Since then, they have consistently rewritten the narrative of women’s football.

This monumental game provides an opportunity to reflect on that journey.  

It was inevitable wasn't it. Two powerhouses of women's football clash once again in a fixture that has resembled that of a derby in recent years. The Lionesses, off the back of a second Euro’s win, will take on Spain in the race to Brazil 2027. 

Over 70,000 are expected to make the journey down Wembley Way towards the famous red and white arch in a landmark game that could see one of the 2023 World Cup finalists fall behind in the qualification race.

For decades, motherhood in women’s football was widely perceived as incompatible with elite performance. Pregnancy often led to contract termination, financial instability, or early retirement, forcing players into an unspoken ‘either-or’ decision between family and career.

Today, that narrative is undergoing a significant transformation-driven by legal precedent, policy reform, and the visibility of athlete-mothers to the highest level of the game.

The UEFA Women’s Champions League is hotting up, and soon, we will know the final 4 teams battling it out for European glory.

The Quarter-final second leg matches take place over two nights (Wednesday 1st and Thursday 2nd April), with each night providing two thrilling encounters.

Crystal Palace Women took the crown in an exciting and closely fought South London Derby at Selhurst Park. Turning the streets of Croydon red and blue, 3,822 fans made the journey to the club’s main stadium for this landmark fixture against Charlton Athletic, the South-East London rivals both looking to cement their place in promotion territory of the Barclays WSL2 table. 

With a family friendly fanzone, Eagles mascots dancing on the sidelines, and a cracking playlist (of course featuring the club's anthem ‘Glad all Over’), the crowd were in full voice, with fans of all demographics, new supporters to lifetime ones, wanting to see women's football on the main stage.

AFC Bournemouth Women secured a close 1-0 victory over Plymouth Argyle in the FA Women’s National League Cup final, despite strong opposition from the Pilgrims, who created opportunities throughout both halves and caused problems for the Cherries.

Forward, Kenni Thompson broke the deadlock in the seventh minute of the first half from a corner in favour of the Cherries, who looked composed and controlled when she crossed into the box and headed it in, giving them the lead.

It was a feisty affair, with both teams attempting to assert dominance and create opportunities in the final third, but it was ultimately Bournemouth who remained victorious in the end.

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Martin Ho spoke to the media ahead of his side's away fixture against Arsenal this weekend in the Barclays Women’s Super League (WSL).

Saturday’s derby is expected to be a big one, as Arsenal head into the match in fine form, winning four of their last five games. Spurs are also looking to improve on harsh results against Everton and Manchester City but remain optimistic.

Players Olivia Holdt and Matilda Vinberg recently signed new contract extensions yesterday, tying their futures to the club, with Ho also extending his stay with the Lilywhites. Three extensions in three days speaks volumes, a testimony to the new trajectory of the club under Ho and his coaching staff.

In the 34th edition of the FA Women’s National League Cup, AFC Bournemouth will face Plymouth Argyle in the Final at Loftus Road on 28th March 2026. 

Plymouth sits six points ahead of Bournemouth in the FAWNL South, with the two sides facing one another last weekend. The Greens took the win thanks to a Phoebe Poole goal and a late minute winner from Una Lue. 

Having seen this fixture as almost a test match for this weekend’s final, the Cherries look to bounce back and defy the odds with a victory. It is guaranteed that the final will be unexpected and full of excitement, with hopes of a strong crowd at Loftus Road!

Signed in the January transfer window of 2025, Olivia Holdt has already emerged as a highly technical and class player for Tottenham Hotspur Women.

The Danish midfielder contributes significantly to the midfield battle with her fast footwork and ability to create opportunities through intelligent visions and skilful passages of play.

Earlier this week, Spurs announced the agreement of a long-term contract which seals Holdt’s future at the club for years to come. Not only a sign of her commitment to Spurs and continuation , but also her belief in the long-term ambitions and vision of the club under new head coach, Martin Ho.

After thriving through the seventh European Deaf Futsal Championship in Croatia with a 100% winning record, the England Deaf Women’s Team brought it home following a 2-0 win against Poland in the final.

Not only did the result secure the title but signalled the growing impact of the Para Lionesses on the European stage. Winning this tournament is a reminder that disabilities should not limit opportunities in sports and raises awareness for deaf futsal both in England and globally.   

With a flawless group stage - and securing five wins in five throughout the competition - the team cruised through the tournament and proved themselves worthy of the first place finish.

The new docuseries is exclusively available to watch on The Arsenal, the new digital home for fans globally. This platform allows supporters to access exclusive experiences and opportunities, whilst expressing their love and support for the club and its community initiatives.  

Following the creation of a new Under-9s girls’ community team, the series spotlights their first journey in football, alongside the support of several Arsenal Women stars: Lotte Wubben-Moy, Beth Mead, Leah Williamson and Alessia Russo. 

The Football Association [FA] in partnership with Barclays, has announced a nationwide school campaign to understand the entrenched societal barriers that affect girls’ participation in football. 

The initiative Made for This Game: Breaking Barriers will provide free resources to primary and secondary schools across the country to start important conversations about the gendered barriers still present in sport, hoping to increase inclusivity and access to participation. 

The FA and Barclays Girls Football in School’s Partnership has, over many years, worked to support educators in making equal access to football in schools a reality. This new campaign hopes to break down the remaining barriers with fresh insight showing that gender stereotyping, misogyny, and a lack of body confidence are the most significant factors still holding girls back.

In a final that many predicted from the start, host nation Australia, buoyed by a home crowd and a ‘never say die’ attitude, take on terrifyingly clinical Japan in the final of the AFC Women’s Asian Cup on Saturday at 9AM (GMT).

The competition has showcased the joys of tournament football for players and communities alike with Uzbekistan making it out of the group stages for the first time in their history and 250,000 spectators entering stadiums across the country, a 5X increase from the previous record. From last minute Alanna Kennedy headers and an eleven goal thrashing in the group stage by Japan, the final could shape up to be a very exciting end to a historic tournament.

As an expansion team, Denver Summit is entering its inaugural season in 2026, meaning they have no “last season” performance to look back on. Instead, they are building a brand-new legacy from scratch as the NWSL’s 16th franchise.

The club hired Nick Cushing, formerly the manager of Manchester City and NYCFC. Known for an attacking style, Cushing was brought in to establish a winning culture immediately. The biggest splash is USWNT captain and Colorado native, Lindsey Heaps, who will join the squad in June 2026 after completing her season with Lyon in France. The club bypassed traditional expansion drafts to build through free agency, signing veterans like defender Kaleigh Kurtz, goalkeeper Abby Smith and forward Ally Brazier. They also signed top young talent, including MAC Hermann Trophy winner Jasmine Aikey.
