Some grassroots players marched to Wembley Stadium in hope of forcing the FA to change its policy on transgender women in football

"Transgender women will no longer be able to play" women's soccer in England, the national Football Association says after a key U.K. ruling.

Alternative models like open categories or skill-based divisions have been proposed but face logistical hurdles. In the U.S., the NCAA allows trans women to compete after a year of hormone therapy, though state-level bans are rising. Professional leagues like the NWSL may soon face pressure to clarify their stance.
