What a night for women’s football. The Ballon d’Or continues to grow, now with extended categories including Young Player and Goalkeeper of the Year.

Attendance often gives a hint at outcomes—players like Michelle Agyemang and Ann-Katrin Berger were not present, for example.

The 21-year-old Chelsea forward has extended her contract until the summer of 2029.

The Football Association has charged Chelsea with 74 alleged breaches of its rules relating to agents, intermediaries, and third-party investments. Manchester City’s settlement with the Premier League over sponsorship rules has frustrated many fans at the lack of clarity in two of the biggest regulatory sagas in English football.

Sabrina Ionescu brought flair and friendship to the hardwood when she returned to the New York Liberty lineup in a brand-new colourway of her Sabrina 3 signature sneaker — this one inspired by none other than Sam Kerr’s first-ever Nike Mercurial Player Edition boots.

Mary Fowler tore her ACL during Manchester City’s FA Cup semi-final defeat to Manchester United at the end of the season.

There seems to be a big issue with forwards at Chelsea on both sides, with Cole Palmer and Liam Delap out of the men’s side, Sam Kerr (though she finally returned), Lauren James, and now Mayra Ramirez.

As we are days away from the season, here is all the news I have found around women’s football and the WSL.

The award is based on several criteria, such as quality of play, titles won, memorable victories, results exceeding expectations, respect, and fair play.

I told myself that if Lauren James missed her penalty and England lost, the racists would come from whatever hole they were hiding in to cause hate, and I was not the only one who thought that.
