UEFA Women's Euro Qualifiers
The qualifying process for the next installment of the UEFA Women's EURO competition gets back underway on Friday, April 5th. Key matches include what should be a very interesting clash starring England, who won the last edition back in 2022, taking on Sweden, who are certainly a team who are capable of causing their opponents some major concerns. Fans in the USA can live-stream England vs Sweden on CBS Sports Golazo, with a kick off time set for 3 pm EST (12 pm PST).
SheBelieves Cup
On Saturday, all eyes will shift towards the SheBelieves Cup, a competition organized by the United States Soccer Federation. This year's competition will be the nine iteration of the tournament, and not surprisingly, has been dominated by the USWNT, who have two of the last eight installments (France and England won it in 2017 and 2019 respectively).
Japan, Canada, and Brazil are the three invited guests to take part, with Japan facing the USWNT in the first of Saturday's double-header that kicks off at 12.30 pm EST (9.30 am PST). Fans can live-stream that match on Peacock, and the streaming provider will also be carrying the second of Saturday's two games starring Canada and Brazil at 3.30 pm EST (12.30 pm PST).

Final four decided in UWCL - including intriguing all-French derby
The final four in the 2023/24 UWCL competition is now set, and it has predictably provided some great match-ups. Although they put up a good fight against heavyweights Lyon in the first leg, Benfica were unable to keep their Cinderella story going as they were beaten 4-1 in the second leg to ultimately crash out of the competition following a 6-2 aggregate loss.
Lyon, who are the most successful team in this tournament, will face fellow French side PSG in what will see many French national teammates pitted against each other. Les Parisiens comfortably booked their ticket in the semi-finals after cruising to a 3-0 second leg win over Swedish side Häcken, who had surprised many by getting to this juncture after finishing second in their quartet behind Chelsea.
Speaking of Chelsea, Emma Hayes's squad are onto the semi-finals despite a surprise 1-1 draw with Ajax in the second leg. Thanks to a 3-0 win from the first leg, the Blues' draw was not too damaging, although they will face a tough test against reigning Barcelona in what also should be a very interesting tactical battle for fans and neutrals alike.
And finally, Barcelona will once again look to defend their continental crown after booking their final four spot following a 5-2 aggregate win over Norwegian side Brann over two legs.
The semi-finals of the 2023/24 UEFA Women's Champions League will get underway later this month on April 20th and 21st.
