International football is on the agenda once again over the next fortnight, with a number of our players representing their countries.
Qualifying for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup remains on the agenda for our European players, with Amanda Nilden and Matilda Vinberg are set to go head-to-head with Olivia Holdt when Sweden host Denmark.
Cathinka Tandberg, meanwhile, has earned a recall to the Norway senior squad, joining Julie Blakstad and Signe Gaupset, for their double-header qualifier against Slovenia.
There’s another potential opportunity for our players to, which comes in the Under-23 picture, as Sweden’s Matilda Nilden and Hanna Wijk could find themselves against Lenna Gunning-Williams. The two nations, alongside the Netherlands and Norway, are competing in the European Competition semi-finals, with the final set to be played in this international window.
Academy players Sophie Jackson and Jhanaie Pierre, who has earned her first call-up to the England Under-19s squad, will be featuring for the Young Lionesses in their three qualifiers for the UEFA Women’s U19 Euro Finals.
