Sarina Wiegman is in line to manage Great Britain at next summer’s Olympics in Paris should qualification be secured, the Football Association has announced. The women’s football tournament there will feature three European sides: the hosts France and two teams who will secure qualification via the inaugural Women’s Nations League that is just about to get under way. England have been nominated as the home nation with eligibility to obtain a spot for Great Britain, and thus also the employing and appointing body for Team GB staff. Wiegman, under whom England have won Euro 2022 and finished as runners-up at this year’s World Cup, said in a statement from the FA: “My full focus is on the Nations League campaign, but I would of course be very excited if the chance came to lead Team GB next summer. It would be an honour … The Olympic Games is such a special sporting event and, for women’s football, one of the biggest stages to play.” England open their Nations League Group A1 fixtures by facing Scotland in Sunderland on Friday and the Netherlands in Utrecht four days later, with Belgium also in the group. If France do not reach the Nations League final, the winners and runners-up will take the two other Olympic spots; if France are in the final, a spot would go to the third-placed team. Baroness Sue Campbell is to step down from her role as director of women’s football at the FA next year. The 74-year-old joined the governing body in 2016 and is credited with transforming the women’s game in England at elite and grassroots levels.
