BBC Women’s Football Weekly – six for the Lionesses, three for Caroline Weir and an unsung hero

Available for over a year

Ben Haines, Ellen White and Soccer Aid’s latest recruit, Jane Beattie, are back together to take a look at the matches that saw the 2027 Women’s World Cup qualifying campaign kick off in England and Scotland. The team is focusing on the performances of England’s top scorers, Alessia Russo, Georgia Stanway and Jess Park, and questions whether the more experimental back line was tested enough against Ukraine. Captain Caroline Weir scored her first international hat-trick as Scotland scored five unanswered goals against Luxembourg. Jane discusses how the side found its freedom again. Plus, ahead of International Women’s Day, the group is paying a big tribute to Jane O’Neill, their unsung hero of the women’s game.
