High of the Week
This week the International Olympic Committee announced that the women’s soccer field has been expanded from 12 to 16 teams. The 16-team format will start at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. The increase means that female athletes will be the majority for the first time at the Olympics. It was a well overdue change and we can’t wait to watch the expanded tournament!

Low of the Week
Vivianne Miedema can’t catch a break when it comes to injuries. While on international duty with the Netherlands, the forward suffered a hamstring injury that will likely keep her sidelined for the rest of Manchester City’s season. It’s a tough break for Miedema who has been struggling with various injuries since 2022. She suffered an ACL tear in December of 2022 she then required a minor knee operation in March 2024. Hopefully, the recent injury won’t keep Miedema away for a long period but with City only having four matches left it seems she won’t be playing again this season.
