Ahh, summer -- 'tis the season for the beautiful game's biggest and best international tournaments. This year, however, with the World Cup in Qatar set to start in November, the spotlight will be on what the women's game has to offer -- and there is a lot on offer.
Almost every region in the world has a big women's soccer tournament starting in July where the best and most exciting players will be squaring off. In every competition, the stakes are incredibly high: Either a spot at the 2023 Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand is on the line, or in the case of the European championship, there's a most-ever €16 million prize pool and some major bragging rights up for grabs.
