Olympics Football Qualifiers: Thomas Dennerby announces ... (InsideSport)

Despite being the favourite to advance from Group G, the Indian women’s football team will face challenges. The next Asian leg of the Olympic qualifications for Paris 2024 is an excellent opportunity for female footballers to disprove their detractors. Since women’s football was added to the Olympic programme in 1996, Asia’s finest performances have come in the shape of silver medals won by China that year and Japan in 2012. Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan, both from Central Asia, will join the Indian women’s squad in the group. The Indian women’s football team will begin qualifying for the Summer Olympics in Group G. India has been drawn in Group G of the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament 2024 Asian Qualifiers Round 1 alongside Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan, to be played in a one-round league style in a centralised venue from April 3 to 11, 2023.

Sex Sells? An Ongoing Battle in Ghanaian Women's Football (NewsClick)

While progress has been made in women's football globally, female footballers in Ghana are still working out how best to draw in more fans.

This is mainly because if women go out to watch a game, they are not there to see how sexy the players are." Nketiah believes women's football thrives more on the attention of men because they're more likely to be won over as supporters of the game. "The posts I believe have done well on our social media have nothing to do with the girls on the pitch. The players aren't the only ones struggling in the battle to break down barriers. Mary Jo Kane, director of the Tucker Center for Research on Girls and Women in sports, sexualizing their bodies made women bigger celebrities, but that didn't necessarily translate to a deeper interest in their sport of choice. Speaking to DW, Patricia Mantey, goalkeeper for the Ghana National Women's Team, confirmed people assume she is a man simply because she plays football.

It Is What It Is: Panic buys are football heritage – no recruitment ... (The Athletic)

Every type of panic signing ranked by panic, the standard "six of one..." football scenario and a growing FA Cup mini-crisis.

[FA Cup](https://theathletic.com/football/fa-cup/) “in the hat” crisis. Nine days after being drawn against [Bristol City](https://theathletic.com/football/team/bristol-city/) in round four and having safely negotiated a replay against fifth-tier Chesterfield, Swift tweeted: What the FA will do from here is unclear, but a crackdown is required. An education programme may do the trick, perhaps, or a simple reminder of his magical FA Cup responsibilities. A good panic signing (be it an emergency loan, a final roll of the transfer dice against relegation or a vain attempt to locate the fabled “final piece of the jigsaw”) is a reminder of football’s natural whims, needs, temptations and greed. Do we ever truly want to wean ourselves off a scattergun diet of “new faces” and “extra bodies” coming “through the door”? Surely their number would already be out of the hat. I couldn’t say when I first heard it or who first said it but I have heard on more occasions than I would like “It’s like six and two threes”. Will the next generation of football fans never experience the fleeting, Saturday 2pm deflation of a new player having been “signed too late to make his debut”? They talk in the most beige dialect of footballspeak, with a corporate calmness that seems ill-fitting to the glorious football pantomime and a vague tone of authority. Signing a goalkeeper in these relatively tense circumstances, of course, often requires special dispensation, a phrase we have all just taken for granted. But for all their analytics software, talk of “pathways” and burgeoning CVs, we should remember that heads of recruitment are — or, at least, should be — the most boring people in football.

Arsenal sign Trossard and close on Kiwior, West Ham land Ings ... (The Guardian)

It's official. Arsenal have wrapped up the signing of Leandro Trossard from Brighton. Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is delighted to have added the Belgian ...

This is a BIG weekend, and one that closes with Arsenal v Manchester United on Sunday, a match that used to be the biggest in the Premier League but has lately lost its sheen compared to those Manchester City v Liverpool grand slams. Eddie Howe confirmed that Wood is having a medical with Nottingham Forest, with Forest looking to bring the New Zealand international in on loan. The word is that Kiwior will fly to London this weekend, and perhaps take in that Manchester United game. He will provide backup to the likes of Gabriel and William Saliba in defence as Mikel Arteta strengthens his squad. The paperwork was done in time and we need to wait for the confirmation on registration.” Actually if you want an album it has to be Todd Rundgren’s A Wizard, A True Star.” I’ve just listened to the former and – can I just shock you? My favourite has to be Frank Zappa’s Mothers of Invention 1968 classic ‘We’re only in it for the money’.” “It is good work from everyone at the club to complete the signing of Leandro. To win five from the first seven would have been an outstanding number and no-one would have recognised it, you just go down to the third league and a promising coaching career would be finished before it really started. “He is such a professional he prepares for every game as if he is going to start anyway. Who was in charge of the country at the time? Yes the last three results have helped to galvanise everyone, helped to give everyone a little bit of a boost and for everyone to really believe in the work that we are doing inside and out.
