England's qualifying campaign for the 2027 Women's World Cup is officially underway. It hasn't gone how the Lionesses would've hoped thus far, with a second-placed finish in the group condemning Sarina Wiegman's side to the play-off route. But the 2023 runners-up are still expected to make the 2027 tournament, even if they are taking the scenic route.
Nikita Parris marked her 200th Women’s Super League appearance in style as she scored in London City Lionesses’ 4-2 victory over Tottenham. The former Manchester United and Manchester City forward found the net in a thrilling derby that lifted the newly promoted side into the top half of the WSL table, further underlining her enduring impact on English women’s football.
