Our January issue of Women’s Football News is now available to buy here, and you won’t want to miss out on all the exclusive excitement on offer.
Aston Villa star Alisha Lehmann offers insight into her life as an elite women’s footballer and a burgeoning business woman, plus why she needs three-hour naps, her love of rap music and her long-held dream to be the newest contestant on Strictly Come Dancing.
The Switzerland international isn’t the only big name from the Women’s Super League to offer a glimpse into her world.
Tottenham Hotspur and England striker Bethany England also sits down with WFN to speak about the mental and physical battles she faced while undergoing her long road from surgery at the start of the WSL season. The 29-year-old also gives a glimpse into the flowering revolution of Spurs under new manager Robert Vilahamn and what Tottenham fans can expect from a potential Martha Thomas-England link-up in the final third.
For those wanting all things Lionesses, WFN also has you covered. Following a dramatic Nations League campaign that ultimately ended in heartbreak, we look at exactly what went wrong for Sarina Wiegman’s squad as they missed out on a spot at next summer’s Olympic Games in Paris to the Netherlands and how they can prepare to defend their Euro title next summer.
And as ever, more women are making history in football, with the latest being referee Rebecca Welch whose inspiring and historic journey to the summit of the Premier League is one of the many other stories you can enjoy from this month’s exclusive magazine.
With women’s football in the WSL and Championship on hold until mid-January, we also take a look at the league’s current positions and which clubs have exceeded expectations and which have potentially fallen short in a campaign relishing unprecedented levels of competition and parity.
Plus, Sue Smith’s guide to becoming a footballer and what the stars say is in store for some of the game’s biggest names.
