‘We work hard and have a plan': meet the team who have won their league 23 times in a row
There are many types of champions. Some win the league just as a one-off. There are those who enjoy periods of sustained success as well as the relentless winners who establish a long-term stranglehold on the silverware in their country. The next level up is the peerless teams who sustain it for a decade or so. Finally, in an entire category of their own, we have SFK 2000 Sarajevo. The Bosnia and Herzegovina women's champions recently extended their own world record by lifting their 23rd (!) consecutive title, continuing a streak that began before nearly half of their current squad were even born. Advertisement On 21 May they added the Bosnian Cup, lifting it for 21st time this century, with a 1-0 victory over their nearest challengers Emina, and speaking to the Guardian before that cup success, trying to explain their dominance in the league, Sarajevo's secretary general, Azra Numanovic, said: 'I can't even describe it any more. We are changing the perspective towards women's football in Bosnia and in this region, because if you see our results, we're the most successful football club in Bosnia. Not women's football club, the most successful football club. 'I think the biggest question is, 'how do we do it psychologically, to motivate our players to do it from year to year?' Everyone says 'the league in Bosnia, the quality is not so high and so you do it easily' but actually no, that's not true, because we are human – we work so hard, we have our strategic plan, our tactics, our mentality, that we from year-to-year manage to be the best. 'The key point is we have our head coach, Samira Hurem, who is, at the same time, the president of this club. She formed this club in the year 2000 and she's the one who's been leading us since day one. Her vision, her energy is something that has been transferred to all of us younger ones.' Hurem is, like Numanovic, a former player for both SFK 2000 Sarajevo and the Bosnia and Herzegovina women's national team. This year their team won the title by a 21-point margin, but spare a thought for second-place Emina, who have finished as the runners-up for a sixth consecutive campaign. Advertisement 'We have really good matches with them,' Numanovic says, of their rivalry. 'They're trying hard and it's good for us to have teams like that so we play better games because the rest of the league is really not that good, and then you don't have those kind of quality matches and then when the Champions League comes you have to play more defensively and it's really hard to switch over, so we're actually very happy to have Emina.' Naturally, amid such domestic dominance, it is in the Women's Champions League where Sarajevo face their toughest games each season. This season, they beat the Faroe Islands-based club KÍ Klaksvík Kvinnur in the first round of qualifying before being knocked out by Benfica. They have claimed some sizable scalps over the years, including beating Cardiff City 3-0 in 2013, but they have progressed through the qualifying rounds just four times, most recently in 2019, when they were eliminated by Chelsea in the round of 32, before the existing main-draw group-stage format was introduced. 'We try in our preparation period to have good friendly matches with the champions of Serbia and Montenegro who are pretty similar to us,' Numanovic says of the gap between domestic and European football. 'There was an idea to establish a regional league. The best teams from Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia, Slovenia would play each other, because all of us need to overcome this gap. All of us have the same problem. 'It [creating such a regional competition] is not easy because the biggest problem we have is how to finance it. We already had many meetings and everyone would be happy to do it, but we still cannot overcome the financial burden. What's interesting here is, for example, our men's colleagues in all of these countries could never organise that, because of security reasons. It is impossible. Imagine Sarajevo v Dinamo Zagreb? That would be a mess – but when we play each other it's a super happy, positive match, so we have overcome the political situation with women's football. It's a super beautiful atmosphere. Now we need a shift to more investment in women's football to see the potential in it, to make some of these projects come alive.' Advertisement There is at least a new competition that has been introduced by Uefa, but it is Europe-wide. Bosnia and Herzegovina are ranked 25th in Uefa women's coefficient list but now have an extra incentive to improve their standing – from 24th place upwards, countries start to receive a spot in the new Women's Europa Cup competition from the 2025-26 campaign, meaning Emina have narrowly missed out this time, but Numanovic is enthusiastically welcoming that new competition as a means to grow the women's game around the entire continent. 'This is a big step forward,' she says. 'It will help a lot of teams. More teams will get access to Uefa competitions to work on their development so this will help a lot. We are close to having two teams – it will be amazing if Emina also gets to play in Europe and develop themselves, and it will also push the other teams here to also develop.' Numanovic, who started playing for Sarajevo at 14 in 2004, was a defensive midfielder who could also play at full-back, and although she hung up her boots three years ago, she has never been more active in the sport, having working in administration for the past 17 years, initially just to help the club out. She has spent 10 years working with the European Club Association, where she is now a board member, and she wants more women to have chances to get involved in running the sport. 'Another key reason why we [Sarajevo] are successful is most of our administration staff are former players of the club – we give everyone a chance to learn if they want to stay in the club. When you were a player and you remain to be a fighter on the administration field as well, you know what a player needs.' They are already in the Guinness book of World Records but, with that ethos, they intend to remain on top in Bosnia and Herzegovina for many more years to come. Talking points Major blow: The Tottenham defender Ella Morris has sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury in her right knee during training with England after she received her first senior international call-up. She wrote on the social media platform X: 'From the highest high to the lowest low. Devastated doesn't even come close. So grateful for the incredible people around me. ACL round 2 – let's go.' Advertisement Cutting it fine: The match venues for July's Women's Africa Cup of Nations, being hosted in Morocco a year later than originally planned, have finally been announced. The stadiums will include the Olympic Stadium in Rabat and Casablanca's Larbi Zaouli Stadium, among four other venues. An official fixture list is still yet to be released.

PSG manager Luis Enrique hopes to celebrate Champions League win in memory of daughter
Paris-Saint Germain (PSG) manager Luis Enrique and his family suffered the ultimate heartbreak in 2019, when their nine-year-old daughter Xana died after a battle with cancer. It was a tragedy that rocked the entire soccer community and one which stays front and center in the 55-year-old's thoughts today. For Enrique, who took a short break from the sport five years ago, it also serves as inspiration which he hopes will help his PSG side claim its first Champions League trophy against Inter Milan on Saturday. Enrique has already won the Champions League as a manager, when he guided Barcelona to the trophy back in 2015. In those post-match celebrations, Enrique celebrated with his daughter on the pitch and there is one particular memory he would like to recreate this weekend. 'My daughter loved parties and I'm sure where she is, she's still having parties,' Enrique told reporters earlier this year. 'And I remember an incredible photo I have of her in the Champions League final in Berlin, after winning the Champions League, putting the flag of FC Barcelona in the pitch. I have the wish to be able to do the same with Paris Saint-Germain. 'My daughter won't be there, but she will be… she won't be there physically, but she will be spiritually and that, for me, is very important.' The family tragedy five years ago happened when Enrique was manager of Spain. In June 2019, he stepped away from the role to spend more time with his family. In August that year, he announced that Xana had died. 'You'll be the star that guides our family,' he said in a statement at the time. In November 2019, Enrique returned to his role as manager of La Roja and guided his team to the semifinals of Euro 2020. He then resigned from his position after a disappointing showing at the Qatar World Cup in 2022, where Spain was knocked out of the Last 16. Prior to his stint as the national team manager, Enrique enjoyed huge success as head coach of the Blaugrana, winning the La Liga title, domestic cup and Champions League in 2015 – otherwise known as a European treble. His coaching career followed an impressive spell as a player – the Spaniard played for the likes of Real Madrid and Barça, as well as earning 62 caps for the national team. He won three La Liga titles during his playing days and an Olympic gold medal for Spain at the 1992 Games. Given his pedigree as both a player and manager, it was perhaps no surprise when PSG, one of Europe's biggest clubs, announced him as its new head coach in 2023. He hit the ground running, winning the domestic treble in his first season and guiding the French side to the Champions League semifinals, falling to German club Borussia Dortmund in a shock result. This season, he has had to rework the entire team following the departure of French superstar Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid but, testament to his tactical nous, his young squad now looks like arguably the best team in Europe. After clinching both the league and two domestic cups so far this season, Enrique needs the Champions League title to become just the second manager in history to win two European trebles with two different teams. Pep Guardiola is the only manager to do so currently, with Barça in 2009 and Manchester City in 2023. But through all his recent success, it's the memory of the time spent with his daughter which shines the brightest. In a recent Movistar+ documentary, Enrique said he felt like he was a 'very lucky' man, despite the heartbreak his family has suffered. It means when he stands on the touchline in Saturday's Champions League final, Enrique won't be alone. 'My daughter came to spend nine marvelous years with us. We have a thousand memories of her, videos, incredible things,' he said. 'Xana is alive. In the physical plane, she's not here, but in the spiritual one, she's here because every day we talk about her, we laugh, and we remember. 'I believe that Xana still watches us.'

Luis Enrique's guiding light, Chelsea complete Euro set, Liga MX's legal battle
The Athletic FC ⚽ is The Athletic's daily football (or soccer, if you prefer) newsletter. Sign up to receive it directly to your inbox. Hello! There's a star flickering in Luis Enrique's sky, ready to go with him to Munich. On the way: How do sportspeople suffer tragedy or loss without involuntarily losing their edge? When life changes, does perspective change with it — reducing their profession to a less consequential level? These are questions you could put to Luis Enrique. Indeed, they are questions he has answered. Paris Saint-Germain's manager suffered the greatest loss of all in 2019, the death of his daughter, Xana. She was nine years old when she passed away, from bone cancer. She was — and is — his guiding light. Advertisement Jack Lang's eulogy — beginning with a haunting photo (below) of Xana, waving a flag on a deserted pitch with her father looking on after his Barcelona side's 2015 Champions League final victory — will do a good job of moving you to tears. It also gives context to the drive and ambition found in Luis Enrique's eyes. He's a man with perspective but he hasn't lost his edge. If anything, he's twice the coach he used to be. Saturday has the potential to be his finest hour. Yes, he's a Champions League-winning coach already — the last to take the trophy to Camp Nou, no less — but repeating that with Paris Saint-Germain against Inter in Munich would be something else; Luis Enrique taming a beast which, for all PSG's affluence and extravagance, refused to be tamed by other mortals. It's the work of a committed optimist. Luis Enrique was asked once how Xana's death made him feel; whether his overriding emotion was bitterness or pain. 'The most negative experiences are the ones that teach you the most,' he replied. 'My daughter came to live with us for nine wonderful years. We have a thousand memories of her. I consider myself to have been fortunate. Very fortunate.' The ability to look for joy never left him. Perhaps the experience taught Luis Enrique to approach football with a renewed sense of purity. His PSG team have a definite philosophy to them: both in the way they play (which has been spellbinding since Christmas) and the way they are built. When PSG were all about Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi and Neymar, they were the sort of nightclub you crossed the road to avoid. Once they made it all about Luis Enrique, there was so much more to love. He was brave in reframing their squad, and the uptick in PSG's pressing (see the graphic, above) is both wild and logical. Mbappe, Messi and Neymar weren't masters of it. Luis Enrique's dressing room is filled with players who are. QED. Advertisement Nothing about him says he takes his work any less seriously than he did while Xana was alive. The game is deep in his soul. It's more like he's on a mission to generate football which sings to her and if that's what he wants, it's what he's getting. Maybe an awareness of what matters most in life brings with it mindfulness, and a clarity of thought. Nothing against Saturday's opposite number Simone Inzaghi, because Inter are a terrific team too. But there's a right way for this year's final to end. From the outset, the Conference League presented Chelsea with no insurmountable hurdles. They had cards to play at every turn, and too much talent not to win it UEFA's third-tier club competition. They got the job done in Poland last night, despite Enzo Maresca's decision to gut his back five causing a wobble against Real Betis. Cole Palmer stepped up, which is what Cole Palmer does. Jadon Sancho put the final to bed with what might be one of his last kicks in Chelsea blue (above). His loan from Manchester United didn't take off, but here are grounds to remember him fondly. Chelsea, uniquely, now hold a full set of trophies from UEFA club tournaments: the European Cup/Champions League, Europa League, Conference League and Cup Winners' Cup (God rest its soul). They won the UEFA Super Cup too. And while Maresca's position as head coach isn't greatly consolidated by winning the least of them, defeat to Betis would have hurt him. Parts of the final's first half — slow and ponderous, with full-back Malo Gusto severely inverted — explained why a portion of Chelsea's crowd are sceptical about him. The marriage feels fragile. But between the Conference League and a fourth-place finish in the Premier League, Maresca has met his objectives. Onwards. Mexico's Liga MX had a valid reason for pausing promotion and relegation in 2020. The Covid-19 pandemic was peaking and clubs in the division below saw cash reserves run low. The suspension of pro-rel was a makeweight in a financial deal to assist them. The problem is, it was never reinstated, or not properly. Since 2023, there have been mechanisms by which second division, or Liga Expansión, teams can join Liga MX — through meeting certain criteria — but the system is complicated, woolly and unsatisfactory. So a battle has broken out. Advertisement Felipe Cardenas recently discovered that a number of Liga Expansión sides had taken a legal case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), in an effort to force Liga MX and the Mexican Football Federation (FMF) to open the door properly again. He's now reporting that one of the complainants, Club Atlante, has pulled out of the appeal — amid claims of retaliation by the authorities. There's a suspicion on the part of the locked-out teams that existing Liga MX members like their guaranteed status. Some are part of multi-club groups (the reason why Club Leon lost its place at the Club World Cup) and the division's status is growing, attracting bigger names, like Sergio Ramos. A lawyer for those seeking pro-rel says they are 'exhausted' — but determined to stay the course. Over to our Manchester United hype man, Adam Crafton, for his X verdict on their post-season defeat to the ASEAN All Stars in Kuala Lumpur yesterday (a match which ended to the sound of booing): 'You can't say they haven't given the global fanbase in Malaysia an authentic experience of watching Manchester United.' Look, the beancounters won't care. If you're confused by the rationale for United choosing to prolong a laughable season by embarrassing themselves in a friendly in the Far East, the word you're looking for is 'money'. What's one more feeble goal when you've made an art of conceding them? And why not introduce the wider world to goalscorer Maung Maung Lwin? Remember the name (actually, don't).
