QB Weekly

The international break is here — but not before a week full of action worth catching up on. European competitions now know their semi-finalists and finalists, transfer rumours are swirling (and being shut down), and a new generation of young talents continues to emerge.

It’s been a dramatic week, with several derby clashes, Alessia Russo reaching a major milestone, and the Damallsvenskan season kicking off. Unfortunately, there’s also been some sad news. Here’s our weekly round-up.

Another week, another story — and we now have our Asian Cup winners. Across Europe’s leagues, a new generation of young stars is beginning to shine. And there’s plenty more to catch up on.

The international break is over and women’s football is back in full swing. England and France now have their domestic cup winners, the Asian Cup has decided the teams heading to the World Cup, the NWSL has returned, and Borussia Dortmund is making big plans for the future.

The week began with the international break and ended with International Women’s Day. It’s the perfect moment to celebrate the women who have helped shape and grow the game — and to look back at what the world of women’s football brought us over the past week.

The Olympic spotlight may have faded, but women’s football isn’t slowing down. With World Cup qualifying matches in full swing and the AFC Women’s Asian Cup now underway, the international break is packed with storylines.
