The start of the 2026 U20 Women’s World Cup is fast approaching. Who are some young superstars to be on the lookout for in this tournament?

Tomorrow, 5 September 2026, the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup kicks off in Poland. At Queenballers, we’ll be covering the tournament in detail. To start with, we introduce five players who we believe are worth keeping an eye on and could shine at the tournament.

When the newly crowned UEFA WOmen's  Champions League winners signed the young Canadian from Liverpool on 17 July 2025, it marked a historic milestone for women’s football. The north London club paid £1 million for the winger, at the time the highest transfer fee ever paid for a female footballer. But what is it like to play with the pressure of such a huge price tag?

The 2026 NWSL season is entering the home stretch. Who are the top players in key statistical categories at this point in the year?

Although the world was hit by the sad news of the death of Harald V, in whose honour Norway’s players will wear black armbands in their first competitive match, there has been mostly good news in the world of women’s football. The final round of Champions League qualifying has begun, Liga F has kicked off in Spain, Manchester United have a new signing, and much more.

Many players have left the Spanish Liga F to continue their careers abroad in recent years. Spanish coaches have followed a similar path, with several moving to the NWSL, the top tier of women’s football in the United States, where they have brought with them the technical approach traditionally associated with Spanish football.

Imagine the situation. You are 16 years old. Most of your football matches are still watched mainly by parents standing on the sidelines, you have never played professional football and you are still supposed to have several years of high school ahead of you.

Over the years, the NWSL has produced plenty of iconic moments, not only on the pitch. One of them came in 2023, when Patrick Mahomes joined the ownership group of Kansas City Current, becoming the first active NFL player to hold a stake in an NWSL club.

The NWSL has come a far way from how the league started out in 2013. Among those changes is the amount of investment that clubs and club owners have poured into their teams. Which clubs are leading the way in giving women’s football the investment and respect it deserves?
