CAF's decision to overturn Senegal's 1-0 victory in the Cup of Nations final has led to significant backlash, with the Senegalese Football Federation appealing to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

The FRMF welcomes the decision, which reaffirms the primacy of competition regulations and reinforces the conditions necessary for the proper conduct of international tournaments, the federation said in a statement on Thursday.

Keira Barry has received her first senior England call-up after being added to Sarina Wiegman's squad for Women's World Cup qualifiers against Spain and Iceland.

Morocco goalkeeper Yassine Bounou stated, 'We're focused on what's to come and not getting into that [topic]. The answer from us would be what our federation said, and that's all we're looking forwards.'

We will contact our lawyers and file an appeal. We will stop at nothing. The law is on our side. This decision is a disgrace for Africa. The timing is really bad. CAF should have taken a decision earlier, quicker. The situation has only rotted more and more.

Only once has Jamaica qualified for the World Cup, but the Caribbean island will likely never get a better chance to do so than the upcoming inter-confederation play-offs. The Jamaicans, under then-first-team coach Steve McClaren, have already spurned one golden opportunity to book their first World Cup appearance since 1998 by failing to qualify from a group featuring Curacao, Bermuda and Trinidad and Tobago.

Back in 2022, when Tony Gustavsson's vaunted performance mode went bust as the Koreans dumped the Matildas out in the last eight. It was a result that, had Australia not been hosting the Women's World Cup the following year, would have seen them miss out on qualification for the global showpiece event.

The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) has submitted a preliminary bid to host the Women's Champions League final at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin in 2029. Dublin was put forward as a potential host city in an expression of interest by the FAI to Uefa in October. The FAI said it is in a "strong position" to host the final due to the increased popularity of women's football in the Republic of Ireland.

Arsenal are world champions. It's a weird thing to say about the team fourth in the WSL, albeit with a game in hand, and who failed to qualify automatically for the Champions League quarter-finals and face a two-leg knockout phase playoff. However, the 3-2 defeat of the Copa Libertadores champions, Corinthians, by the Uefa Champions League holders secured their global title.
