Matildas defender Charlize Rule, age 23, has taken home a prestigious honour at Brighton & Hove Albion's end of season awards night, with the Women's FA Cup finalist being awarded Women's Young Player of the Season! She shares the accolade alongside Men's Young Player of the Season Diego Gómez, a 23-year-old Paraguayan midfielder who the Socceroos will face at the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States.

Congrats Charlie!!!

Two Aussies linked up as Jason Cummings scored with an assist from Dimitri Petratos to score a very late equaliser for Mohun Bagan Super Giant in their 1–1 draw at home in the Kolkata Derby against East Bengal in the Indian Super League! It's his second goal of the ISL season! Well done Jase!

Liam Chipperfield, the 22-year-old Swiss son of FC Basel and Socceroos legend Scott Chipperfield, scored to seal a 3–3 draw for FC Sion away from home with Young Boys in the Swiss Super League! It’s the Switzerland under-21 international’s fifth goal of the season for the club! Well done Liam!

Matildas defender Winonah Heatley and Young Matildas forward Annalise Rasmussen have both been named in the Serie A Femminile Team of the Week for Round 22! Razz scored her first goal in her first appearance (a start) for Juventus in their 3–1 away win over Parma, while Wini was a solid part of Roma's back line in our 2–0 win over Genoa! While the Serie A Women has now concluded for the season, the Coppa Italia Femminile final between Juventus and Roma is on this weekend!

Congratulations to both Razz and Wini!

Sofascore has released their Team of the Season based on the players in each position with the best average Sofascore ratings this season!

Would put Heather Hinz in goals to be honest but it’s quite a solid team otherwise!

On the last day of the season, Spartans confirmed they would be returning to the SWPL 1 after just one season in the SWPL 2, defeating Dundee United 2–0 at home to secure the title and promotion to the top tier! In that title-winning side is Perth-born former NPLW player Emma McMurdo, who relocated to her ancestral homeland of Scotland and has played for multiple clubs across Scotland!

Congrats Emma!

Zac Sapsford opened the scoring in Dundee United's 1–1 draw away from home against Saint Mirren on the final day of the 2025–26 Scottish Premiership! Zac finishes the season with nine goals for the Tangerines, who finished top of the relegation group after the split! Well done Zac!

Tete Yengi opened the scoring for Machida Zelvia in their 1–1 draw away from home with Kawasaki Frontale (which they lost 5–4 on penalties) in the J1 100 Year Vision League! It's his third goal of the season (a one-off as the J1 League is switching to a European calendar)! Well done Tete!

Gianni Stensness scored Viking FK's first goal in a thrilling 6–3 win at home over IK Start that puts them top of the Eliteserien by a point with two games in hand to second-place Tromsø IL! It's the Socceroos centre back's third goal of the season! Well done Gianni!

Annalise Rasmussen has finally made her début for Juventus, and what a début she had! The former Central Coast Mariners star striker and championship winner, a Young Matilda who is eligible for Australia, the Cook Islands and South Africa, made her first start and scored her first goal for Juve in the Bianconere's 3–1 away win over Parma on the last day of the Serie A Femminile season, ahead of the Coppa Italia Femminile final against Wini Heatley's Roma! Well done Razz!

Wales international midfielder Laura Hughes has won a domestic double with Melbourne City in the A-League Women, with City having secured the premiership by winning the regular season and the championship by winning the grand final last night!

Born in Canberra, Laura was capped once for the Matildas in 2024 before completing a one-time FIFA Association switch to play for the Dragons, who she was capped for in 2025. While it was always an uphill battle for her to make our defence (which is deep in depth), it’s hoped that she’ll be a big part of the Dreigiau’s future as they continue to grow as an emerging UEFA side.

Llongyfarchiadau Laura!

Assyrian Australian wonderkid Danella Butrus and her club Melbourne City have secured a domestic double, winning both the A-League Women regular season and the grand final to secure the premiership and the championship!

Born in 2007 in Duhok in the Kurdistan Region to an Assyrian Christian family, Dani fled due to armed conflict in Iraq which displaced the majority of the country’s Assyrian population. First settling in Syria along the way, she arrived in Australia with her family in 2013, aged seven. Growing up speaking English as a second language, she attended school in Wallan, Victoria, a regional town just outside Melbourne. She began playing soccer at Roxburgh Park United in the VSL Division 5 North, before progressing to NPLW Victoria clubs FV Emerging Matildas and later Bulleen Lions. She made her début for the Junior Matildas (the Australia under-17 national team) in 2024, before becoming a regular in the Young Matildas (the under-20 national team) in 2025.

Ahead of the 2025–26 season, Dani signed her first contract in the A-League Women, signing for a talented Melbourne City side full of current and future Matildas (Australia national team) players. She was one of four players of Assyrian descent in the league this season, with the other three playing for Western Sydney Wanderers (a club based in Western Sydney, which includes the diaspora heartland for Fairfield). Throughout the course of the season, Dani has played 15 league games and assisted once for the double-winning side. She could also be part of a historic treble-winning side should City go all the way in the AFC Women’s Champions League, which they’re currently in the semi-finals of. In the Champions League, she’s played four games and scored twice so far.

Congratulations Dani!

In a perfect home sendoff for Chelsea legend and Matildas captain Sam Kerr, the legendary striker scored a great goal for the Blues in their 1–0 win over Man United at Stamford Bridge in the Women's Super League! "SK20" finishes her career at Chelsea with 116 goals, equaling Lionesses legend Fran Kirby's record as the club's all-time leading goalscorer! She also leaves as the club's all-time leading goalscorer in the WSL, with 65 league goals for the club! Upon being subbed off she received a standing ovation!

Well done and congrats on a great career Sam!

Piero Quispe scored the goal that put Sydney FC in front of Newcastle Jets in the second leg of the semi-finals at a sold out McDonald Jones Stadium, with Sydney winning 4–2 on penalties after a 1–1 draw after extra time to account for a 2–2 aggregate score! It's the Peruvian’s second goal of the season for the Sky Blues! Well done Piero!
