She Kicks, issue 72, April 2022 pp.4–6

Three pages of news from the spring of 2022, opening on the USWNT’s equal-pay agreement with US Soccer, worth a total of 24m dollars, and on a landmark FA and PFA deal bringing enhanced maternity, injury and long-term-illness provision to players in the Barclays FA WSL and FA Women’s Championship. Abroad, Alexia Putellas scores twice as Barcelona take a third straight Spanish title and ticket sales for their Camp Nou quarter-final climb towards a European record; Sam Kerr’s five goals against Indonesia carry her past Tim Cahill as Australia’s leading scorer; and the Philippines and Vietnam qualify for a first World Cup. At home, the Vitality Women’s FA Cup prize fund trebles to 3m pounds a year, Manchester City come from behind to win the Conti Cup final, Scottish clubs vote for a new league, and Gill Coultard finally collects her MBE.
