“US Aims for 3rd Consecutive Women’s World Cup Win: Is the Team at Risk?”

NEW YORK: Even without a few key players, the US head into the Women’s World Cup with a formidable group of wily veterans and eager newcomers. The question is, will it be enough for the team to lift international soccer’s most prestigious trophy again? The US have won the last two World Cups and the goal is to three-peat. But American dominance in women’s soccer isn’t assured anymore. Teams like England and France have caught up, Germany and Sweden remain strong, and then there’s that rival to the north, Canada, who won gold at the Tokyo Olympics.

Turkey seeks to host football Euros following Champions League final

GENEVA: Turkiye’s quest to host the men’s European Championship is among the great unfulfilled goals in world soccer.
