Women's football is at the top of its game right now.
Whether it's the legendary Lionesses lighting up the international stage, the increasingly competitive Women's Super League going from strength to strength or the burgeoning and long overdue growth of girls grassroots football, females of all ages are gripped by football fever.
Sarina Wiegman's European champions might have narrowly missed out on World Cup glory with that agonising final defeat to Spain last month, but the feel good factor surrounding the England team's exploits in Australia could be felt thousands of miles away back home.
As the WSL transfer window closes, our domestic top flight continues to enhance its reputation as one of the most competitive leagues in the world.
Further down the women's football pyramid, the quality of players and the level of interest are also on the rise, inspiring the next generation to get involved in a sport which is finally taking women and girls seriously.
This isn't just a fad - this is here to stay and we're very much here for it!
So much so that our sister title the Mirror is launching Women's Football News, our first ever monthly newspaper special celebrating the popularity of the women's game.
Women's Football News editor Natasha Henry said: “It’s a privilege to be involved in creating our new title at a time when the game's growth is visible worldwide.
"Our team will be bringing you stories from the local park to the biggest stadiums in the world along with regular well-known columnists and exclusive features.
"Our new monthly publication is further proof of our commitment to support women’s football and elevate the coverage of the beautiful game."
Priced £3, this month's 48-page launch edition will give a flavour of what's to come from our monthly Women's Football News.
It will feature:
- A comprehensive season preview, including club-by-club guides for the WSL and Women's Championship and the new arrivals into the WSL
- Exclusive column with England legend turned pundit Sue Smith
- All the league fixtures for the new season
- Interviews and news from around the women's game
- Spotlight on grassroots girls football
