At my college back in the day, just as Title IX was being passed, the male athletes were given steak dinners at the cafe the night before big games, especially football, but basketball, and baseball too, but none for female teams. I was a walk-on to our softball team my freshman year, and also worked in the cafeteria to help pay tuition.

Carolina Botero and Karisma helped connect indigenous peoples to the internet and made it possible to contribute content to Wikipedia in their native language, expanding access to both history and modern information. They built alliances to combat disinformation, pushed for legal tools to protect cultural and heritage institutions from digital blackholes, and were, and remain, a necessary voice speaking for human rights in the online world.

Corinthians earned a stunning victory against Gotham FC in the first semi-final of the inaugural Fifa Women's Champions Cup, a goal from the 40-year-old Corinthians captain Gabi Zanotti in the 83rd minute the difference. Everyone was talking about maybe Gotham and Arsenal in the final but Corinthians are here and we played a very good game to beat the NWSL champions, their manager, Lucas Piccinato, said. We know what we can do. He is right.

"We've felt so much recognition, that was so nice. You can really feel the appreciation. "It's incredible. When I came here in 2021 I never expected it to be like this. It's been so special. To be so accepted here and the journey we've been on, to be an honourary dame, is hard to describe what an honour it is."

It is very exciting for us to be playing for the first time at Everton's new stadium. We have always said that taking this team around the country is so important and we're really looking forward to playing in front of fans in the north-west. The city of Liverpool has a rich football history with many connections to the Lionesses over the years, so it will be a very special evening.

To be a Barbie role model is so special. To have my very own one-of-a-kind doll - I'm very proud of that. You don't really believe these things could happen. You always look for the trophies and the wins on the pitch but, off the pitch, this is a massive win.

A WSL spokesperson added that they believe clubs and players are also opposed to the schedule, but the league are stopping short of calling for a boycott or threatening to withdraw English teams from the competition, adding: We are not against the introduction of new tournaments in principle [but] those dates would have an impact on five WSL match rounds.

The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) has submitted a preliminary bid to host the Women's Champions League final at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin in 2029. Dublin was put forward as a potential host city in an expression of interest by the FAI to Uefa in October. The FAI said it is in a "strong position" to host the final due to the increased popularity of women's football in the Republic of Ireland.

Right now, the story of Sam Kerr's Matildas career isn't complete. But we've reached a fascinating point in the tale. All we know for certain is that the next chapter is taking place on the shores of Australia over the next three weeks. In some ways, the narrative has been built expertly for a happy ending. Or at the very least one final moment of pure joy.
