Op 20 juli start een nieuwe editie van het wereldkampioenschap voetbal voor vrouwen en deze editie belooft opnieuw spectaculair te worden. Voor het eerst vind het toernooi plaats in Nieuw-Zeeland en Australi\u00eb, hier zullen in totaal 32 landen aantreden. Waaronder ook de finalisten van de vorige editie Nederland en de Verenigde Staten. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Extra leuk is bij beide landen is college voetbal vertegenwoordigd. Bij de Verenigde Staten uiteraard in grotere mate, maar ook het Nederlands team kent iemand met een verleden in college. Merel van Dongen speelde twee seizoenen voor het women’s soccer team van the University of Alabama. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alessia is one of the best players at the moment in the English national team, and just finished a great year with her club Manchester United. She just got earned a transfer to Arsenal womens team. Before she played for Manchester United she played for the University of North Carolina, together with her teammate Lotte Wubben-Moy. She is a forward, and in her time at the University of North Carolina she scored 28 goals, and tallied 9 assists. Not only did she get on the scoresheet often, she also won a bunch of individual awards during her time in college. England has one more player that played college soccer at St. John\u2019s University; Rachel Daley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fun fact; Alessia is best friends with our Field Hockey specialist Eva! They actually lived together when Eva was playing Field Hockey at the University of North Carolina.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n
