Southampton FC Women's stars had a successful April international break, with plenty to celebrate on their return to club action for the end of the 2025/26 season.

Saints captain Atlanta Primus continued her ever-present run in the Jamaica side, as the Reggae Girlz successfully qualified for the 2026 CONCACAF W Championship with an unbeaten record in their group to complete the first step of their 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification.

Jamaica won back-to-back games on home soil, as Primus played the full 90 minutes in both Group B matches - a comfortable 4-0 win over Antigua and Barbuda and well earned 2-0 triumph over Guyana.

Elsewhere, on England duty, Megan Collett and Jess Simpson kept their places in the Under-23s squad as they contested the final of the WU23 European competition.

Despite their playing time being limited during this camp, both full-backs return to Staplewood as champions as the Young Lionesses first beat the Netherlands before overcoming Sweden with a 3-0 win to lift the trophy with Jess Simpson featuring for the final 20 minutes.

Finally on international duty, Saints' goalkeeper coach Will Britt, who also coaches for the New Zealand national team, had a milestone camp as the Football Ferns sealed their qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup.
