I loved F.C. Copenhagen Women's inaugural home shirt but the amount of chef's kisses I'm planting on this one. Sensational.

Spot on. We binned off Southgate because a "proper manager will get us over the line" despite him reaching two finals (and losing one on penalties). Going out like this is what we deserve when myopically using a lack of trophies and nothing more to criticise Southgate

Thomas Tuchel was appointed for that last 30 minutes. We were told that it would be different from the knockout king and we got tactical cowardice. And if he really has no regrets, he can leave now. Column from Atlanta 🔽 inews.co.uk/sport/football/t…

More top-down thinking in women's football from the FA, rather than considering the whole pie. The game's healthy at the top (thanks to debt) but the answer to hoarding young talent can't be B Teams in the WNL

I wonder if anyone has published a 'bare minimum cost' of running a professional women's football club, with all the absolute essentials included (insurance, facilities, wages, etc). Then we'd know a starting point for the FA to support, rather than a token £1m to the WNL

Change 'despite' to 'in order to achieve' Women's football is relying on debt and the mechanisms of the men's game to get by. The league system isn't sustainable unless you have a wealthy owner/men's club. Please, the women's game cannot follow the financial pitfalls of the men

xG said one thing. The result said another. @SPL's Jes Buster Madsen explains why that gap matters – and why analysts need to go beyond descriptive models to properly understand what happens in a match. #OptaForum2026

Under #letgirlsplay my daughter and all the girls in her preschool class are having a funded football session today. That direct and equal access to football in school as a consequence of what England players at the elite level worked and pushed for is their greatest legacy. #Lionesses

It was always more than a trophy. It was about leaving a legacy. 💫 Today, that legacy has landed. #LetGirlsPlay | #IWD2023

F.C. Copenhagen will once again wear the Danish Red Cross' logo on their shirts on Wednesday, when they face FC Barcelona in the Champions League. The Player of the Match shirt, plus the one worn against Villarreal, will be auctioned off to raise money for the Red Cross.
