New chapter in Arsenal’s storied history awaits as they aim to end continental drought in a sold-out Lisbon finalAfter 18 years, Arsenal are back in the biggest game in women’s European football with a dream to end their long wait for continental glory. They face the holders, the favourites and the much-revered Barcelona, who are aiming to win the Champions League for a third consecutive season on a picture-perfect weekend in Lisbon.Strolling along tree-lined paths through the Portuguese capital’s sun-kissed Parque Eduardo VII, as a group of Barcelona fans cross paths with two Arsenal supporters wearing full red-and-white kit and exchange a few friendly quips about Saturday’s final, it is hard not to feel a pang of sympathy for the 3,467 attendees who saw Arsenal lift the Uefa Women’s Cup – as it was known in 2007 – in the somewhat less glamorous surroundings of Boreham Wood FC’s Meadow Park. In those days, the competition concluded with a two-legged home-and-away final. Arsenal fol...

44 h. ago Barcelona are big Women’s Champions League final favourites despite ‘worst’ season

Blaugrana face Arsenal after what Caroline Graham Hansen calls an ‘emotional’ campaign under a new managerNormalising the extraordinary. Even in their “worst season”, Barcelona are going for a second quadruple in a row and fourth consecutive Women’s Champions League title. Few may have predicted that late last year, after a defeat at Manchester City prompted a new narrative: this was the season they were finally not going to win anything.In the end, they won the Liga F title but only after losing twice. That may not sound terrible but it is the first time since the 2018-19 season they have been defeated more than once in the league. So a crisis of some sort. The loss at City also prompted some soul-searching for a team in their first season with a new manager, Pere Romeu replacing Jonatan Giráldez last summer. Continue reading...

45 h. ago Smoke cannons, rolling subs and goals aplenty: welcome to World Sevens football

The players – and the few fans in attendance – seemed to enjoy the first day of the new, lucrative tournament but can it become a permanent fixture in the women’s calendar?There are rolling substitutes, you cannot be offside and smoke cannons erupt from behind the goal when you score. Women’s football’s newest competition, with its $5m (£3.7m) prize pool, is highly lucrative for the teams involved but is not taking itself too seriously. Perhaps that will become its greatest selling point, as this end-of-season party on the Portuguese Riviera seeks to show that women’s football can thrive if it is different.There has been no patient buildup and nobody is sitting deep in a low block; it is just attack after attack. In simple terms, the first day at World Sevens Football felt like a throwback to what sport is supposed to be about: fun. Continue reading...

3 d. ago The sad demise of Fortuna Sittard Women: ‘I hope the players find new clubs’

Three years ago, Fortuna Sittard entered the women’s game to much fanfare. But now their dreams have been dashedThree years ago, Fortuna Sittard entered the women’s game to much fanfare. The club owner, Atilla Aytekin, boldly stated the aim within three years was to qualify for the Champions League, the club hiring the former Netherlands head coach Roger Reijners and signing talismanic Belgian forward Tessa Wullaert to spearhead their dream.They came close, remarkably finishing third in their first season having gone straight into the Eredivisie, but three years on the club has now just played its final game as a professional outfit, rather than preparing for European football.
