A report by our intern Emilia Beutel The U17 women's water polo European Championships take place every two years. Here, young women from all over the world compete for this title. This event wants to give young women a platform to show their skills and compete against young women all over the world. The first U17 Women´s European Championships were held in Portugal in 2005 and were won by Hungary.

Review of today's FIFA Women's World Cup matches by our intern Emilia Beutel After fourteen days in the battle for a place in the last 16, the last two teams have now been determined. The German team falls behind early but catches up shortly before the break. Nevertheless, the 1-1 draw is not enough to put them in third place after the Moroccan women beat the favourites, Colombia. After Germany's 1-1 draw, they should have hoped for a Colombia win. But thanks to a strong performance by the Moroccans and Lahmari's goal in first-half injury time, they defeated the previously unbeaten Colombians, thus also eliminating Germany, who had previously won 6-0 against Morocco.

So now Morocco faces France, [...]
