England's emphatic victory at the 2022 women's Euros has been called a watershed moment both for the team and for women's football. But can this talented side prove their mettle on the biggest stage of all and achieve World Cup glory in 2023? Tactical writer Abdullah Abdullah once again lifts the lid on a women's footballing institution, this time through an international lens - deconstructing match tactics, analysing player performances and assessing the key improvements made in Sarina Wiegman's time in charge. Abdullah explores the standout tactical profiles from the current generation, including Fran Kirby and Lucy Bronze as well as the future crop, like Leah Williamson and wunderkind Lauren Hemp. This book dives into the specifics of how this iteration of the Lionesses can perform at the 2023 Women's World Cup. Will this be the moment they shed their status as perennial challengers and prove they are the best team in the world?

"Charlotte Stacey writes the Foreword, and she's right, 'Only a handful of the nation would have heard of Leah Williamson a year ago, and even less would have known Beth Mead, but fast forward to today and the pair are brandished on billboards, across the sides of buses and train stations, and are fast on their way, if they weren’t already, to becoming household names.' A very readable book."

"This is a book that must be praised for giving deserving focus to a deserving team… It’s hard not to admire Abdullah’s research, focus and attention to detail… What I found particularly fascinating was to see the team and the matches viewed through such a different lens… To have such a book published and for the author to have chosen the subject as his focus is a sign of evolving times… Books like Abdullah Abdullah’s Lionesses: Gamechangers offer a unique contribution to the genre."
