Pernille Harder and Stine Ballisager will play two matches against FCB teammates in the World Cup qualifiers with Denmark: First up are Serbia with Jovana Damnjanović, then the Danes will host Italy with Arianna Caruso. Glódís Viggósdóttir will also come up against two familiar faces with Iceland: against Spain, the captain will face new signing Edna Imade, before taking on England with Georgia Stanway in the second game. The reigning European champion has a match against Ukraine beforehand - the same goes for Imade, who has been handed her second successive call-up to the world champions' squad.
The Austrian contingent of Barbara Dunst, Katharina Naschenweng and Maria Plattner will take on Slovenia and Norway. Natalia Padilla Bidas completes the line-up of FCB players competing with their nations for European World Cup qualification. The Poland striker will represent her country against the Netherlands and France.
Vanessa Gilles (Canada), Bernadette Amani (Côte d’Ivoire) and Momoko Tanikawa (Japan), on the other hand, will be taking part in different tournaments with their respective nations. While Gilles will head to the USA to take part in the prestigious SheBelieves Cup, Amani and Tanikawa will compete for the title in their continental championships: the Women's Africa Cup of Nations and the Women's Asia Cup, which is regarded as the oldest continental championship in women's football.
