The Socceroos and Matildas players are taking legal action against their own FA. Their players' union, Professional Footballers Australia, is representing them over how the national teams' revenue is shared. It has been seen that they are pursuing a seven-figure sum through proceedings in the New South Wales Supreme Court.

The FIFPRO Women's World XI shortlist has been announced and has sparked confusion, with several high-profile players missing despite having considerably better seasons. FIFPRO is the football version of a union, so it represents players, and this award is unique because fellow players vote on it exclusively.

England's Nations League group for LA28 Olympic qualification on behalf of Team GB and Northern Ireland is on the line.

Harry Kane joined a select group of footballers when he was awarded the Ballon d’Or, the most prestigious individual football accolade in the game. He might be remembered for his historic 73-goal season, being England's all-time leading goalscorer, holding the all-time joint-appearance record for the three lines, and much more. But his off-the-pitch endeavours will have a lasting impact on the people and lives he's touched through his advocacy.

Barcelona Femení have requested an extension from FIFA to comply with new regulations requiring female representation within coaching and medical staff at FIFA-sanctioned women’s competitions. The request comes ahead of the FIFA Women’s Champions Cup in January, with Barcelona currently unable to meet the requirement for a female head coach or assistant coach under manager Pere Romeu, despite having women within its medical team.

For 62 years, women were not acknowledged at the Ballon d’Or. They were first included in 2018, and only for the main prize; the goalkeeper and young player awards started last year. But its introduction may be seen as a forward-thinking move in the long term, and what has happened raises the question of whether the award consistently fulfils its purpose of celebrating women in football.

While many fans wonder what punishment or outcome Manchester City will face after an independent Premier League investigation found them guilty of 115 charges between 2009 and 2018, few have considered the wider impact on the club beyond the men's team. 

With Manchester City confirmed guilty of all 115 charges brought against them by the Premier League, many have wondered how Chelsea were able to “get away” with their crimes without major consequences for the club, such as a points deduction, relegation, or a transfer window ban.  To understand this, you have to realise these two cases are similar because they broke financial rules, but they differ greatly in scale and impact.

Suppose this fixture wasn't already intense and heavily scrutinised; it could be even more so now that the officials have been selected for this game. Emily Heaslip will be refereeing a game where the smallest margins can change the title race, and any error by the officials will be talked about at length. Heaslip has a history of officiating this fixture, with many ending in controversial outcomes and several moments that remain heavily debated.

Chelsea are setting the standard in the WSL by putting players' pitch-first pelvic floor health and support at the forefront, now expanding their support for players navigating pregnancy, parenthood, and fertility. They have introduced a package of policies that includes financial assistance for fertility treatments and egg freezing.

Ahead of the inaugural Madrid GP this weekend, Williams have unveiled a special livery, but it raises unprecedented questions tied to the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

When Gianni Infantino and FIFA announced the possibility of selling an asset in the competition, the document revealed that it never mentioned women's football. With two under-20 World Cups months away from starting and the Women's World Cup the next year, it was seen as a massive oversight and disservice to women's sport, and it reflected poorly on how the organisation viewed the importance of women's sport.
