It’s the first international break of the 2025/26 campaign, with many of our players jetting off to represent their countries over the next fortnight.
UEFA Nations League fixtures are on the agenda for some of our European players, with Amanda Nilden’s Sweden contesting in the final stages of the competition as they take on Spain across two legs in the semi-final.
Elsewhere, in the play-offs for the Nations League, Eveliina Summanen and Olga Ahtinen set to collide with Olivia Holdt as Finland take on Denmark in one of the promotion/relegation ties in the competition.
Another all-Spurs clash could happen over the next two weeks when Toko Koga’s Japan faces Cathinka Tandberg’s Norway in an international friendly.
Meanwhile, among the younger age groups, Academy goalkeeper Sophie Jackson received her maiden call-up to the England Under-19s squad as the Young Lionesses begin their qualifying campaign for the 2025/26 UEFA European Women’s Under-19 Championship.
