With leagues in Spain and Denmark wrapping up, the action continues in Sweden and the United States, where Matildas Abroad continue to compete midseason.
Read our preview of all of the action below.
Denmark
The season may be over in Denmark, but not before Winonah Heatley’s FC Nordsjælland completed a historic double, defeating Brøndby IF 2-1 in the Danish Cup final.
Nordsjælland raced to a two-goal lead early in the second half, thanks to an own goal and a strike from Danish U19 international Alma Aagaard. A 78th-minute goal to Brøndby’s Julie Tavlo-Petersson made things interesting but the league winners were too strong in the end, coming away with their second trophy in a week.

Heatley started and captained her side as she celebrated unprecedented success for her side.
Sweden
Kristianstads DFF could catapult themselves into third this weekend, as they take on Linköping FC on Monday, 12am AEST. Kristianstads have been in superb form, and will be one of the teams vying for the three available European qualifying places from the Damallsvenskan this season. Clare Polkinghorne will be available at centre-back, while Amy Sayer remains unavailable with injury.
Aivi Luik’s BK Häcken have the weekend off – they’ll next play on Thursday, 3am AEST.
United States
The San Diego Wave will be hoping to bounce back from a disappointing loss to Gotham FC midweek when they take on the Houston Dash on Sunday, 9.30am AEST. They have dropped points in their previous two games due to opposition stoppage-time goals, something that coach Casey Stoney will be looking to address this weekend. Emily van Egmond and Kaitlyn Torpey will be available to take the field on Sunday.
