Tottenham Hotspur

Our trip to Leicester City in the Barclays Women’s Super League on Sunday 11 January, 2026, has been selected for television coverage.

This means our kick-off at Brisbane Road will now start an earlier time, with the match set to begin at 12noon UK.

It will be televised on Sky Sports and WSL’s Official YouTube channel.

Please note, this is subject to change following the Men’s Emirates FA Cup third round draw on 8 December.

WSL action returns to Brisbane Road on Sunday 7 December with Aston Villa the visitors to the capital (12pm UK).

Heidi Hills netted a second half brace to inspire our Women’s Under-19s to a 3-1 win over London City Lionesses in the first round of the Professional Game Academy League Cup on Wednesday.

Having scored four goals in two games prior to the contest at Hotspur Way, the young winger continued her excellent run in front of goal striking twice in eight minutes – both goals showing composure inside the box – to give us a three-goal lead by the hour-mark after Kendra Brown’s first goal of the season in the first period.

The visitors pulled one back through Sienna Loom to create a nervy final quarter-of-an-hour in the contest, but our young side withstood the pressure to secure an important win which sends us through to the quarter-finals in the competition.

It was bit of an edgy start to the encounter as both sides traded spells of possession but very few opportunities carved out in what were chilly conditions. However, with the first real chance of the game, we broke the deadlock on 23 minutes as Mia Endacott advanced to the right byline before her low shot from a tight angle was saved by the feet of Matilda Lawrence but Brown, who netted her first senior goal earlier this month for Dulwich Hamlet after joining on a dual registration, reacted quickest to the loose ball and converted on the rebound to net on her return to the starting XI.

That upped the tempo in the contest as more chances began to fall for both sides, Lucy Hope seeing her effort from inside the box going narrowly wide after taking a small deflection on the way while Rose Mylam, who was making her first start in between the sticks after joining our Academy set-up, was out quickly to produce a perfect-timed tackle to stop Esme Johnson through on goal. Hills was denied superbly by Lawrence from close range after Endacott’s corner caused a scramble in the area before, in added time, Loom blasted a first-time effort over the bar, who would be frustrated to not test Mylam, as we maintained our one-goal lead heading into the break.

Then, seven minutes after the restart, we doubled our advantage when Endacott played Grace Bellwood down the left, who cut on to her right foot and deliver a cross to the back post, and Hills was there with a composed side-footed finish past Lawrence. Bellwood then dragged the ball wide after good build-up play from Lucy Barraclough and Hills to tee up the forward before, on the hour mark, Hills grabbed her second of the game as she showed goalscoring instincts to react first to Endacott’s long range shot hitting the bar to slot home the rebound from point-blank range – making it seven goals in seven games this term. Now in full confidence, Hills searched for her hat-trick, first forcing Lawrence into a save at her near post, before she was denied at the last minute by a retreating Lionesses’ defender inside the box following excellent pace from Endacott down the left to pick her out.

Despite being on top for large parts of the second period, the away side pulled a goal back on 72 minutes when Chloe Kabo raced to the byline and sent a low ball across the face of the goal for Loom to tap home from close range. Lexi Henson dragged an effort wide of the post before Ellie Johnson’s free-kick from distance was routinely gathered by Mylam as we withstood increased pressure from the away side. One last opportunity fell to Kabo in the third minute of stoppage time when the Lionesses' forward raced behind our backline, through one-on-one with Mylam, but Beatrice Cunnison recovered well to put pressure on her who in result could only send her effort over the bar, as we held on to record an important victory and book our spot in the quarter-final.

"I’m really impressed we were able to fight together and see out the result"

Reflecting on the game, Head Coach Sabiha Jamal said: “Everything we’ve done until now this season, we don’t disregard it, but it has all been a learning experience. There has been mistakes but that how we’ve been able to grow. As of today, it was a fresh start with a new cup competition and the second phase of league coming up, so we wanted to begin with positive momentum and that made it a must-win for us.

“I think we rose to that challenge – you could see the physicality, the desire to fight for every ball, and that was massive because we’ve lacked that here and there in the opening months, so it was nice to see that come together. We really fought in the game because there were times it lacked quality and became very transitional, but that’s what you expect from cup games. I’m really impressed we were able to fight together and see out the result.”

Lenna Gunning-Williams and Sophie Jackson have been called-up by England Under-23s and England Under-20s respectively for the upcoming November international break.

Already capped six times for the Young Lionesses after making her debut in October, 2024, Lenna has retained her place in the squad ahead of their home double-header this month.

This November, Emma Coates’ side continue their WU23 European Competition with a fixture against Norway at Joie Stadium on Thursday 27 November (7pm UK). Then, four days later, they will host USA in an international friendly at Wham Stadium on Monday 1 December (7pm UK).

The 20-year-old has made six appearances for us this season, with five of those coming in the Barclays Women’s Super League.

Goalkeeper Sophie retains her place in the England youth squad after earning her maiden call-up to the Under-19s last month.

Named in Lauren Smith’s squad in October, 2025, for the first time, our Academy star preserved a clean sheet on her debut for Under-19s and made a second appearance in England’s third game of their qualifying for next summer’s Under-19 European Championship.

Head Coach has named a squad made up of Under-20 sand Under-19 players as they head to Spain for three games in what will be the first preparation camp for next year’s FIFA Women’s U20 World Cup.

The Young Lionesses will face China PR on Wednesday 26 November (4pm UK) before taking on USA three days later (12pm UK). They will then round up their camp with a test against Mexico on Tuesday 2 December (11am UK). All games will take place at Pinatar Arena, Spain.

The young shot stopper has been part of the Women’s First Team set-up alongside Lize Kop and Eleanor Heeps while continuing to feature for our Under-19s in the Professional Game Academy League, making eight appearances to date this term.

Luca Williams-Barnett and Malachi Hardy are heading home after England’s youngsters were eliminated from the Under-17 World Cup via a 4-0 defeat by Austria in the round of 16 on Tuesday.

Attacking midfielder Luca once again started the game in Qatar and after a goalless first half, he went close to putting England ahead with a shot from the edge of the box just 25 seconds into the second period.

Austria took the lead shortly afterwards, though, and after the dismissal of Alejandro Gomes Rodriguez, England conceded three more goals to slump to defeat.

Luca played 61 minutes before being substituted while defender Malachi remained on the bench.

Luca featured in all five of England’s games at the tournament, coming on in the opener against Venezuela, a 3-0 defeat, before starting the latter four matches.

Malachi, meanwhile, started and played the full 90 minutes against Venezuela, with his only other appearance coming off the bench in the third group stage match against Egypt, which England won 3-0. He was an unused substitute for the other three games.

In other youth international action on Tuesday, young full-back Oscar Sandiford played 90 minutes for England’s Under-17s as they rounded off their trip to Dubai with a 1-1 draw against Australia.

Midfielder George Feeney, meanwhile, came on in the 57th minute of Northern Ireland Under-19s’ 4-0 defeat to Czech Republic in a European Under-19 Championship qualifier in Malta.

Kevin Danso and Pedro Porro became the latest Spurs players to qualify for next summer’s World Cup after Tuesday night’s international action.

Centre-back Kevin endured a dramatic night, knowing his Austria side had to avoid defeat at home to Bosnia-Herzegovina to secure their progress to the tournament finals for the first time since 1998 as winners of Group H.

But after seeing the visitors take the lead through Haris Tabakovic, a goal which would have seen Bosnia-Herzegovina qualify instead, the hosts levelled 13 minutes from time via Michael Gregoritsch to secure a 1-1 draw and cement top spot, thus earning a place on the plane to the USA, Canada and Mexico next year.

Kevin played the full game at centre-half.

Pedro, meanwhile, was an unused substitute for Spain as they made mathematically sure of their place at the tournament finals with a 2-2 home draw with Turkey. Spain were virtually assured of qualification before the game – only a Turkey victory by a significant margin would have threatened their participation in 2026 – but the share of the spoils ensured they finished top of Group E with 16 points.

In other senior international action on Tuesday, Richarlison was an unused substitute for Brazil in their 1-1 draw with Tunisia in France, while on-loan Yang Min-Hyeok also remained on the bench for South Korea as they beat Ghana 1-0 at home – both were friendly matches.

After helping Croatia qualify for the World Cup on Friday, on-loan defender Luka Vuskovic was back with his country’s Under-21s for their European Championship qualifier away to Hungary – he captained the team across the 90 minutes and provided the assist for their second goal in a 2-0 win. Fellow defender Ashley Phillips, also on loan, played the last 12 minutes of England Under-21s’ 4-0 win in Slovakia, while Aaron Maguire was on the bench for Republic of Ireland Under-21s as they lost 4-0 in Andorra in qualifying for the same competition.

Brennan Johnson was on target in spectacular fashion as Wales rounded off their World Cup qualifying campaign with an astonishing 7-1 home win over North Macedonia on Tuesday night.

Already assured of a place in March’s play-offs before the game, Wales knew that victory in Cardiff would secure them a home draw in the semi-finals.

And they delivered in some style, with Brennan grabbing a goal and an assist in a resounding victory.

Having crossed for David Brooks to make it 2-0 in the 21st minute, our Bilbao hero added his name to the scoresheet eight minutes before the break, cutting in from the left before firing into the top corner on his right foot via a slight deflection to make it 3-1 going into the half-time break.

The hosts ran rampant after the restart to notch up a huge win, with Brennan also having a hand in the build-up to Dan James’ goal – Wales’ fourth of the night – shortly before the hour mark.

The former Nottingham Forest man completed the full 90 minutes.

We’re proud to have been named a winner at the inaugural Sport Integrity Awards, organised by the Sport Integrity Global Alliance (SIGA), in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, today.

These are the world’s first International Awards dedicated exclusively to celebrating, promoting and advancing the highest integrity standards across the industry by recognising organisations and individuals that champion Sport Integrity.

The Club was honoured as a Leader in Sustainability & Innovation for setting a global benchmark in integrating environmental, social and governance principles into its operations.

The award’s criteria are based on the following areas:

• Implementation of sustainable practices in event management, facility use, or operations.

• Measurable environmental impact (e.g. carbon reduction, circular economy, green procurement).

• Social impact aligned with integrity (e.g. community engagement, health and inclusion).

• Transparency in sustainability reporting and accountability.

• Advocacy for responsible sport aligned with broader ESG frameworks.

The judging panel commented that the club has set “a global benchmark in integrating environmental, social and governance principles into club and event operations. With a fully certified sustainable event management system, publicly reported emissions data, 100 per cent renewable electricity at its stadium and pioneering work on circular economy practices and biodiversity, the club has demonstrated that top-level sport can be delivered in a manner consistent with climate action, resource efficiency and nature protection. Its community programmes and transparent reporting frameworks further show how sustainability and integrity can be embedded into a club’s long-term identity and business model.”

The Club is a signatory of the UN Sports for Climate Action Framework, committing to halving its carbon emissions by 2030 and becoming net zero by 2040. In June, 2024, the Club achieved certification to ISO 20121 standard for sustainable event management and, earlier this year, became the first Premier League club to join the UN-backed Sports for Nature Framework, which aims to deliver transformative nature-positive action across sports by 2030 and beyond.

Matthew Collecott, Operations & Finance Director, Tottenham Hotspur, said: “This award highlights our ongoing efforts to integrate sustainability and integrity across our operations – from ISO 20121 certified event management and 100 per cent renewable electricity at our stadium and training centre, to our environmental projects and community programmes delivered through the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation. We remain committed to reducing our environmental impact, promoting social inclusion and using sport as a platform for positive change.”

These Awards go beyond recognition. They honour tangible achievements and meaningful impact — actions that advance integrity, strengthen institutions and build real trust across the sporting world. They highlight those whose leading example sets the benchmark for others, creating a legacy that will shape the sector for years to come. The recipients we celebrate tonight have shown that integrity is not optional; it is precisely the foundation upon which the credibility and future of Sport rest.

A footballing background…

Blue: “I grew up in a big football household, especially with my brother Ruben. I feel he helped me find my love for football at the very beginning so I think that’s where it really began. I always went every Sunday to watch his games with my mum. He’s a big inspiration to me and I feel a lot of my core memories in football come down to him, whether it will be at the park in front of our flat or anywhere else. It was always him that taught me.

“My brother and I would play in a cage just outside our flat, playing matches, whether we were in the same team or not. For me, when I think about the early ages of football, that’s what comes to my mind – enjoying it, smiling and having fun with my brother on the pitch.

“The first team I really started training for was with Spurs’ boys development side - that was around Under-8s and Under-9s, so I did that quite young and I was there for a while. I ended up moving to Arsenal’s academy for a few seasons before going to my local side, Enfield Town, then I went back into boys’ football for a couple of years with Limitless Academy. When I came back into girls’ football, I signed for West Ham United’s Academy before joining Spurs two summers ago.”

Her passion for defending & Academy football…

Blue: “It has been a crazy experience so far [at Spurs]. There has been highs and lows, but I wouldn’t have changed it for the world. I have learnt so much since I have been here, grown massively not just as a player but as a person. I’m in my second year now so there’s still so much learning to come, but being here has helped me fall more in love with the game.

“Having the opportunity to play in a boys’ team, it taught me so much. Academy football is focused a lot more work on your technical style but, with the boys, it was a lot more focused on matching them physically. So, I feel I have got the best of both worlds and when I combine them both together, it just makes you twice the player.

“I have always loved defending! When I was really young, I never got assigned a set position. But as I grew up, I just found that love for defending and it’s something that I would never change.

“I would say I’m quite a physical player. I show a lot of passion on the pitch, even away from it, I like to get on the ball, try to join attacks and break lines with my passes. I would just say you would expect a lot of passion and a lot of aggression.”

Representing Ghana at Under-20s level in May…

Blue: “It was a fantastic experience, but it was very different to what I was used too. A lot of training and gym work over the training camp, but it was nice to be in a new environment, different coaches and different culture, but I feel I took it right on board.

“I had to travel out there by myself. It was actually my first time travelling alone, so that was obviously a nice experience. Obviously getting there and being with girls I didn’t know at the time, it tested my social skills for definite. On the pitch, it was just about going on to the pitch and showcasing myself, showing what I’m about and what I can do.”

Jamie Donley scored his first senior international goal on Monday evening to give Northern Ireland a narrow 1-0 win over Luxembourg in their final World Cup 2026 qualifier.

Making just his second start for his country on what was his sixth cap, Donley – currently on loan at Stoke City – confidently slotted home a 44th-minute penalty after Luxembourg’s Christopher Martins caught Ciaron Brown in the box. In what was a hard-fought game at Windsor Park, Donley’s spot-kick proved to be the only goal of the game as Northern Ireland held out despite some late pressure from the visitors.

The forward was replaced in the 67th minute by Callum Marshall but his lively performance will have impressed manager Michael O’Neill. Northern Ireland couldn’t qualify from their group following defeat to Slovakia on Friday but have secured a World Cup play-off place by virtue of their Nations League performance.

Elsewhere, Luka Vuskovic was left out of Croatia’s squad for their 3-2 World Cup qualifying win away to Montenegro on Monday, as he returned to the Under-21s set-up for their Euro Under-21 Championship qualifier in Hungary on Tuesday evening.
