Wasted weekend takes wind out of WSL’s sails … and get ready for more

With the season reaching its climax and weather improving, it’s ideal for attracting fans, but the fixture list is blank

Momentum can be extremely powerful. Just ask Wrexham, anyone involved in English women’s football in the aftermath of Euro 2022 or the scientists calculating Artemis II’s route for Nasa.

The climax to the domestic women’s football season in England, and around Europe, has lost its momentum as an extended international break has arrived. That, coupled with the Easter weekend’s Women’s FA Cup quarter-finals before the international window, means there will be nearly four weeks without WSL fixtures, at a time when the weather is improving, jeopardy surrounding fixtures’ permutations is increasing and interest should be swelling.
