Flying off the shelves
FIFA say that they have sold over 850,000 tickets for the 2023 Women’s World Cup.
The tournament, hosted in Australia and New Zealand, gets underway on July 20 when New Zealand take on Norway in Auckland.
And organisers are well on their way to achieving their target of 1.5m sales by the beginning of the event.
FIFA General Secretary Fatma Samoura said: “2023 is going to be a landmark moment for women’s football.”
The competition will feature 64 matches and 32 nations, with sales expected to rise to over one million “over the next few weeks”.
USA are the current world champions after they beat France in the 2019 final in Lyon.
Messi launches new PSG kit
After wrapping up the 2022-23 Ligue 1 title, Paris Saint-Germain have revealed their home kit for next season.
The jersey is a remodelling of a shirt worn by the club during the early 2000s.
PSG have won the league for the ninth time in 11 seasons this term, sitting four points clear of second-placed Lens with a game to spare.
And they will be aiming for more success in their new kit, which is modelled by Lionel Messi despite his anticipated departure from the club.
A club statement read: “Paris Saint-Germain and Nike are proud to announce the launch of the new 2023-2024 home jersey, paying tribute to a classic Parisian design and embodying the unique spirit of the French capital.
“This iconic jersey reinterprets a shirt worn by Parisian players in the early 2000s and captures the essence of Paris Saint-Germain through a striking design.
“The red and white stripes, symbolic of the club, gradually blend into a dynamic blue, reminiscent of the lights blending into the Parisian skyline.”
On Kerr way
Midfielder Sam Kerr has left Rangers to sign for Bayern Munich.
The Scotland international departs the club after two full seasons having signed in December 2020.
Kerr, who has made 14 appearances for her national team, said that the opportunity was too good to pass up.
She told the Bayern website: “It’s Bayern Munich. I mean, it’s an opportunity too good to turn down.
“It’s one of the biggest clubs in the world and the quality of the players they have here and what they are doing here as a club is amazing.
“I really hope I can be part of that and I can help the team and feature at this amazing club.”
Bayern Women’s technical director Francisco De Sa Fardilha said: “She fits everything this club stands for.
“She has the fighting spirit, she has the tactical quality, she has the technical quality, and above everything she is hungry, she is ambitious and she wants to develop.”
