A groundbreaking FIFA-funded study at Kingston University will investigate whether hormonal fluctuations during menstrual cycles could be contributing to an alarming rise in career-threatening knee injuries in women's soccer.

Chelsea coach Sonia Bompastor said on Monday it remains unclear when star forward Sam Kerr will be ready to return to action.

Matildas star Mary Fowler has ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and is in a race against time to play in next year's home Asian Cup.

Manchester City say they're "not fearing the worst" after Mary Fowler suffered a knee injury in their Women's FA Cup semifinal defeat by neighbours Manchester United.

Two wins from two represented a welcome reprieve for a Matildas side low on confidence. But, with a home Asian Cup now just months away, the coaching cloud continues to loom over Australia's national team.

Teagan Micah pulls off a brilliant save as the Matildas build momentum ahead of the AFC Women's Asian Cup 2026.

With Sam Kerr in the stands, the Matildas earned a morale-boosting win over South Korea as they continue preparations for the Asian Cup.

The Matildas have kicked off their 2026 Asian Cup preparations with a 1-0 win on home soil over local rivals South Korea.

Star Matildas Ellie Carpenter and Hayley Raso will not play for Australia in their two friendlies against Asian rivals South Korea this week.

Sam Kerr has avoided being stripped of the Matildas captaincy after meeting with the Football Australia board, with the striker finally joining the Australian women's team in camp.
