(Reuters) -Arsenal will play all 11 of next season's Women's Super League home matches at Emirates Stadium, and the club will offer season tickets for the first time, they said on Tuesday.
The newly crowned Champions League winners, who have recorded some of the largest crowds in women's football, made the Emirates their main stadium last season, averaging 34,110 fans in the nine WSL games they played there.
"For us, this is just the beginning, and bringing every WSL match to the Emirates is another step for more supporters to be part of this special journey," Arsenal coach Renee Slegers said.
Arsenal, who defeated Barcelona 1-0 last month to win their first Champions League title in 18 years, still plan to play at Meadow Park, Borehamwood in the Women's Champions League league phase, as well as FA Cup and League Cup games.
If they qualify for the Champions League knockout stages, those matches would take place at the 60,704-capacity Emirates.
Arsenal recorded a 20% increase in ticket sales for the 2024-25 season over the previous year, selling more than 415,000 tickets.

Athletics-Ingebrigtsen launches own running team with brothers and Norwegian athletes

REUTERS/Phil Noble/File Photo (Reuters) -Two-times Olympic champion and distance runner Jakob Ingebrigtsen launched his own running team called the Spring Run Club on Wednesday, along with his brothers and two Norwegian athletes. Norwegian runner Karoline Bjerkeli Grovdal, cross-country skier Marthe Kristoffersen, and Ingebrigtsen's elder brothers Filip and Henrik, also middle distance runners, are part of the team. The brothers said the club will be open to anyone interested in learning more about running, regardless of their experience or their skill level, while athletes will also share their insights, tips and training sessions. "We want to share our knowledge and help grow a global running movement, for everyone that loves running," Jakob Ingebrigtsen said in a statement. "As professional runners, we have received great support from both the federation at the top level and local clubs at the grassroots level. We want to continue collaborating with all of them. "But what has been missing is a global community fully dedicated to the craft and science of running. That's what we're building now." The team will also partner with Norwegian omega-3 producer Smartfish Sports Nutrition AS. "The Ingebrigtsen brothers and Spring Run Club are now shareholders in the company, which has committed to investing a minimum of NOK 30 million ($2.97 million)... over time in operational funding to support the development of the running team," they said in a statement. Smartfish is also set to become one of the leading partners of the new running team. Ingebrigtsen has been a key figure in a trial involving his father, Gjert Ingebrigtsen, after Norwegian police pressed charges last year accusing him of abusing two of his seven children, including Jakob. Norwegian prosecutors are seeking a two-and-a-half-year prison sentence for Gjert, who is accused of abusing his son Jakob and daughter Ingrid, with a verdict expected this month.

Soccer-Not the US pastime, but 'beautiful game' grows for Americans ahead of World Cup
REUTERS/Hannah Mckay/File Photo NEW YORK (Reuters) -With one year left to go until the 2026 World Cup, U.S. host cities and soccer fanatics hope the record-breaking quadrennial spectacle will elevate the "beautiful game" for American fans traditionally more keen on a different type of football. FIFA President Gianni Infantino said three years ago he expected soccer to become the region's top sport when the largest-ever edition of the tournament plays out in North America in 2026, with Mexico and Canada co-hosting with the U.S. While the sport has a long way to go to loosen the vice-grip that the men's "Big Four" professional sports leagues have on U.S. fans, the quadrennial spectacle will play out in a country transformed from its last hosting gig in 1994. Professional soccer was a relative non-entity in the U.S. at that point, with Major League Soccer two years out from its debut season. And while 94,194 turned up in the Rose Bowl stands for an underwhelming 0-0 draw in the final - Brazil ultimately beat Italy 3-2 on penalties - the sport took time to capture mainstream American interest from that point. "There's no way anybody would have thought that it would be at the level that it is now," said Eddie Pope, who played in the MLS from its first season, beginning with D.C. United, before moving to the then-New York/New Jersey MetroStars and Real Salt Lake. "(In) my days at Real Salt Lake, we literally - our locker room was in a strip mall. And you didn't know where we were going to train in some days." The retired defender is now helping develop the next generation as chief sporting officer at Carolina Core FC, an MLS Next Pro club that hopes its new 11,000 square-foot (1,022 square-metre) training facility could serve as a base camp in the World Cup. "For kids that come in now, they have no idea," Pope told Reuters. "The players are better, the coaches are better. The referees are better - everything's better. And it took time, but I would say that we've moved at lightning speed." With 11 of the 16 World Cup host cities located in the U.S., organisers hope to build a new legacy for the sport in 2026, even as the men's national team struggles to click under new manager Mauricio Pochettino. Atlanta, which was left off the roster in 1994 as it prepared to host the Summer Olympics in 1996, will become the country's unofficial soccer capital when the U.S. federation opens its first-ever national training centre there in April. With eight matches scheduled for the southern hub city, including one semi-final, Atlanta expects roughly $500 million of economic impact. "You've a men's league that's been developed. You have international games coming in droves to the United States," said Tim Zulawski, president of Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank's AMB Sports & Entertainment. "And ultimately, what you really have is kids having idols and people to look up to." (Reporting by Amy Tennery in New York; Editing by Christopher Cushing)

Cricket-South Africa win toss and put Australia into bat in WTC final
Cricket - 2025 ICC World Test Championship Final - South Africa v Australia - Lord's Cricket Ground, London, Britain - June 11, 2025 South Africa's Temba Bavuma during the coin toss before the match Action Images via Reuters/Andrew Boyers LONDON (Reuters) -South Africa captain Temba Bavuma won the toss and put Australia into bat, looking to unleash his pace attack at the start of the World Test Championship final at Lord's on Wednesday. Clouds overhead at the start of the opening day swayed his decision with Bavuma stating the conditions would be "favourable for the new ball". South Africa's strong seam attack contrasts with their inexperienced batting attack and their hopes of an upset win in the final rest on the bowling skills of Kagiso Rabada, Marco Jansen and spinner Keshav Maharaj. Australia captain Pat Cummins said they were happy to bat first. "It looks a good wicket and cloud at the start is pretty normal for England. I think it'll get dryer later in the match and offer plenty of turn," he predicted. Both teams announced their line-ups on the eve of the clash with Cameron Green and Josh Hazlewood back for Australia after injury while South Africa sprung a surprise in their batting order. Green's inclusion means that Marnus Labuschagne will open while Hazlewood takes the place of Scott Boland in the bowling attack. Greenwas diagnosed with a stress fracture in his lower back during the one-day international series in England last year and had surgery in October but returned playing for Gloucestershire in English countycricketin April. Hazlewood had a calf strain and missed out when Australia last played a test in Sri Lanka in February. South Africa have promoted Wiaan Mulder up the order to bat at No. 3 and included Lungi Ngidi in the bowling attack ahead of 36-year-old veteran Dane Paterson, who has been playing for Middlesex in the County Championship. Ngidi has not played in South Africa's last seven tests, all of which they won to book their place in the WTC final. Mulder has only twice before batted at No. 3, having come in mostly at seven from where he made his only test century, last in October in Bangladesh. Australia won the last WTC final against India at The Oval two years ago while New Zealand were inaugural winners in 2021. Teams: Australia: Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Cameron Green, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Beau Webster, Alex Carey (wicketkeeper), Pat Cummins (captain), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood. South Africa: Aiden Markram, Ryan Rickelton, Wiaan Mulder, Temba Bavuma (captain), Tristan Stubbs, David Bedingham, Kyle Verreynne (wicketkeeper), Marco Jansen, Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj, Lungi Ngidi.
