Africa's World Cup qualifying campaign has seen nine teams secure their places at next year's tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico. However, for four CAF teams, including Nigeria, there's still a glimmer of hope.

U.S. Soccer's 2031 Women's World Cup bid will include Mexico, Jamaica and Costa Rica, the federation presidents confirmed at a news conference on Monday at the Solow Building in Midtown Manhattan.

England manager Sarina Wiegman has said she wanted to call up Millie Bright for upcoming friendlies against Brazil and Australia.
