MANCHESTER — Chelsea coach Emma Hayes has always done things her own way, but not even she could have predicted how her side would come back in her final game in charge to snatch the Women's Super League title that she had conceded two weeks ago.

After a glittering 12 years in charge, Hayes, who is leaving to take over the U.S. women's national team, looked set to depart without winning a trophy in her final season before a remarkable turnaround brought her seventh WSL crown.

Emma Hayes will manage her final game with Chelsea on Saturday before she turns her attention toward the United States women’s national team. A growing list of USWNT injuries will be a main concern for Hayes.

There is good news and bad news for U.S. fans at the moment. The bad news is that big names are missing time due to injuries. The good news is that the Olympics doesn’t start for another two months and there’s still time for those players to recover.

Here’s a list of USWNT injuries that could impact who Hayes calls up for two friendlies vs. South Korea in early June.

BANGKOK — Brazil was declared host of the 2027 Women's World Cup after winning a vote at the annual FIFA Congress on Friday, beating the joint bid of Belgium, Netherlands and Germany to become the first South American country picked to stage the tournament.

Brazil won with 119 votes versus 78 for the joint European entry, boosted by a technical evaluation from world governing body FIFA that gave a high score for its commercial plan and stadiums purpose-built for the 2014 Men's World Cup.

American head coach and former Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch made a stunning move to oversee the Canada national team.

Marsch was announced as the new head coach on Monday and will be dealt the task of leading Canada in the Copa América this summer. His contract with Canada goes through summer 2026 meaning he’ll also be in charge for the 2026 World Cup.
