Bunny Shaw gives exclusive on City’s WSL rise in the May issue of Women’s Football News

Buy May’s Women’s Football News today for exclusive access, in-depth analysis and the stories driving the women’s game forward. Manchester City have become a true force in the WSL this season — and in an exclusive interview with Women’s Football News, Khadija “Bunny” Shaw explains what’s changed behind the scenes to fuel their rise. She also opens up on how she honed her instincts to become such a ruthless striker, and what she’s hoping to achieve as her World Cup ambitions come into sharper focus. We also take you inside the England camp with eight pages of Lionesses content, as they took a huge stride towards qualifying for next year’s tournament in Brazil. From the mood in camp to the big talking points that matter most, it’s the kind of access you won’t want to miss as the next major tournament begins to take shape. Elsewhere, Karen Carney lays bare the tension and heartbreak of the WSL 2 promotion race, where the pressure is relentless and the margins are unforgiving. And with promotion, relegation and trophies all still up for grabs, we round up the ups and downs across the women’s football pyramid — the defining storylines, the clubs with everything on the line, and the players delivering when it matters most. This month also goes beyond results and rivalries. We examine whether Marie-Louise Eta’s ground breaking appointment as interim manager of Bundesliga side Union Berlin could mark a turning point for women in coaching — and whether it will open doors across the wider game. Plus, Wrexham’s Jodie Bartle tells us why she has an extra eye on this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, and May’s edition is packed with the latest news — including an update on where Chelsea will play their home matches next season and the latest on Sunderland’s takeover — alongside comment, analysis, and a round-up of action from around the world.
