The NWSL took a month-long break in June while the 2027 FIFA Men’s World Cup took over stadiums and training grounds across the country.

How will some of these acquisitions impact their new teams?

On this day one year ago, July 27 2025, the Lionesses became European Champions for the second time in the row. The nerve wracking finale in Basil was decided in penalty shootout. The national hero once again was Chloe Kelly, who took the decisive kick. Let's recall the 2025 UEFA Women's Euro final.

The Women's Africa Cup of Nations has kicked off and the Swedish Damallsvenskan is back. Players from England are gradually returning to their clubs and preparing for the season. And, of course, the transfer window is still in full swing. Let’s take a look at what happened last week in the world of women's football.

In 2024, two new clubs joined the NWSL as expansion teams. One was brand new and the other, the Utah Royals, was coming back after initially playing in the league from 2018 to 2020.

When manager Luis Rubiales kissed Jenni Hermoso after Spain's 2023 Women's World Cup victory, the football world watched in disbelief.

Borja Iglesias refused to represent his country until meaningful change came to Spanish football.

The 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup came to a close on Sunday, allowing attention to gradually shift towards next year's FIFA Women's World Cup in Brazil.
