It’s almost unbelievable that, not so long ago, women were banned from playing football. In this action-packed April edition of Women’s Football News available to buy online now , we shine a spotlight on the incredible Corinthians - a team that defied the FA’s ban, conquered Europe, and laid the foundations for the Lionesses and the thriving women’s game we know today. We dive deep into the story brought to life by a new film, featuring the surviving squad members, and share the momentous news of the FA’s official apology to the Corinthians and women’s football for the historic ban. We analyze England’s World Cup campaign and preview a pivotal month ahead in the WSL and WSL2, with titles, promotion, and relegation all on the line. Don’t miss our inspiring #ShoutOut spread, highlighting the unsung heroes of the women’s game.
