A dramatic injury-time winner saw Bay FC claim their maiden NWSL Championship and Freja Holm become the 11th greatest women's football manager in November 2039. The 49-year-old Swede added the American title to those won in Italy, Japan and France, leaving, in theory, titles in Australia, Denmark, England, Germany, Spain, Sweden and Wales to tick off her Trailblazer challenge.

#FM26 #Trailblazer Part 18: Holm Brings Her Favourite Players to America. The @wearebayfc squad is heavily strengthened, including a star winger and left back, to record another club-high finish and an @NWSL Final against Orlando.

Trailblazer | Part 18 | Holm Brings Her Favourite Players to America
Freja Holm brought ageing superstar striker Barbra Banda back to the NWSL in 2038 but it didn't quite provide the spark that the Swedish manager was hoping for. Her Bay FC side finished in a record-equalling 5th, but finished the season in really poor form. But Holm had her sight set much higher than 5th place. She began the 2038 offseason by selling on underperforming players, including starting goalkeeper Thyrrestrup to Leicester, for a profit of £1.1m.

#WonderkidFactory Part 5: Cruel Penalty Pain. @OfficialThespa's #J2League promotion hopes come down to a final day showdown amid a real drop in form at the end of the season.

Read here:
Wonderkid Factory | Part 5 | Cruel Penalty Pain
Just six minutes separated Thespa Gunma from a surprise promotion to the Japanese top tier. However, the J2 League's silly rule that the home side gets promoted if a playoff final is drawn meant they missed out, which, in hindsight, was probably for the best given they'd just recorded the club's record high finish.
