England manager Sarina Wigman has advised her players to make any transfer deals before they travel to Australia for the World Cup or wait until they return home to minimize distractions as they claim the first Down Under world title.

Striker Alessia Russo is a lot. Thus, the expected move to Arsenal should be completed within the next 48 hours before the Lionesses fly out of London on Wednesday evening for Australia. Goalkeeper Hannah Hampton, who has been closely associated with a move to Chelsea, is also close to completing her move for that flight.

It is believed Wigman originally made the request in a meeting with the team during April's international camp, and it is believed that all the players are in full agreement with this decision, because they all want to focus on the World Cup. The head coach does not want players to be affected by transfer rumors while they are away from the tournament.

After the end of the World Championship on August 20, there are still three weeks left before the Women's Super Championship. The league transfer deadline is September 14.

Both Russo and Hampton are now free agents after leaving their former clubs Manchester United and Aston Villa, respectively, at the end of June. WSL cannot officially sign an expired player directly from another WSL club until July 1st when they are not linked.

The Women's World Cup Official Ball this summer will use the same technology used during the 2022 men's tournament in Qatar to send real-time data to VAR officials to facilitate semi-automated offside decisions.

The ball, created by adidas and named OCEAUNZ, contains a motion sensor powered by a rechargeable battery that can be recharged by induction and suspended in the center of the ball.

«Adidas has created an iconic [ball] that reflects diversity, inclusion and unity, suitable themes for the first ever Women's World Cup to be jointly organized by two different countries from different confederations,” said FIFA Secretary General Fatma Samura. «This tournament is going to be special.»
